There's always the oft-quoted "How to Report Bugs Effectively" at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html and some useful
advice can probably be extracted from esr's "How To Ask Questions The
Smart Way" http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html, though
that's more related to getting help on a mailing list.
