OK, I have made a *quick* pass through the whole thing and sent a small
number of comments separately. There are things that could be tweaked
(there always will be) but I'm not sure we should worry about those yet.
I would suggest doing this:

- Collapse the whole thing down to a patch adding reporting-bugs-v2.rst
(or some suitable name). I do wonder if it should also move to the
process manual as part of this; not only admins will report bugs.

- Add a comment at the top saying it's a proposed replacement and
soliciting comments. You could also put some of your other questions
into the text for now and see if anybody reacts.

- In a separate patch you could add a comment to the existing document
pointing to the new one as the true source of wisdom.

- Dual licensed CC-SA-4.0 is fine with me. CC-BY is OK if you really
want to do it that way. Either way, though, you'll need to add the
license itself under LICENSES/preferred before it can go into the SPDX
tag.

With that, I'd say let's just merge it and bash on it from there.

Thanks,
