I meant something exactly like the bug form:
	https://www.postgresql.org/account/login/?next=/account/submitbug/
	https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-bugs/2018-05/
"Entering a bug report this way causes it to be mailed to the
<pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> mailing list."

The goal was to continue the list but encourage problem reports to include all
of the most commonly-needed(missing) information, and in a standard format too.

But actually I see that nowadays it requires an account, which isn't great and
might discourage many people from using the web form.  But maybe that's better
for some people than requiring subscription to the list.
