We can have different methods (like we do already), but the easiest one 
would be to open a New Issue web page pre-filled with the user's system 
information, Emacs version, etc.

Those who went through with creating a personal access token could use 
the full-Emacs method.

Having users report bugs like they do for every other free software 
project under the sun? Oh horror.

Anyway, we could also have an special email address that would 
automatically create bugs under a dedicated account. But the user would 
have no way to edit it afterwards.
