Nice.

Two other ideas, similar to existing tools infrastructure...

 1) Create some similar to reportbug(1), that works through a series
of questions on the command line, and files a pertinent, well-formed
bug report
 2) Create a new LP project (call it ubuntu-mir, or something), and
fill in the "If I’m reporting a bug, I should include, if possible:
(Optional)" section on the Edit Project Details page

The (2) option would actually be pretty trivial to implement.  Filing
an MIR bug then should be against the ubuntu-mir project, plus the
affected package in Ubuntu.
