I am completely with you here. However, while Aunt Tilly wants a
no-frills interface mappers who are dealing with bugs need a bit more
functionality. There might be also people willing and able to provide
more detailed bug reports. They should  have the option to do so.
IMO, the problem is to put these three things together.

I think, it is quite clear that we need an Aunt Tilly-interface to the
bugtracker with the following features:

 - no registration required
 - only a single text field to describe the error
 - optional email address if the reporter wishes to be contacted
 
So, basically what openstreetbugs is now. Though, I see no point
why things behind this interface could be a bit more advanced. Since
only mappers will use them. I also see no reason why the Aunt
Tilly-interface should not contain a link saying advanced which shows
some more options (like classification and so on).
