Provide all information as plain text --> I think this is pretty user hostile. When filing bugs, the more rules a project imposes on the bug report, the less likely I am to go ahead with filing it, especially when the rules are worded in a very direct manner that makes it feel like you'll be flamed for getting it wrong. IMHO if someone provides a bug report with a screenshot and there is not sufficient accompanying information, just nicely ask them to explain the problem in a little more detail. We need todo that with plenty of bugs which don't have screenshots either, and screenshots can be helpful in some cases.
