Do you have any resources for that?
Simon Tatham wrote this several decades ago, but I still think it's all excellent advice:

Thank you for the resource! I'll also try bug triage. It looks like a good way to learn what is useful for developpers
Just read it can confirm it's excellent advice as someone who written quite a few bug reports. Thanks for posting! Might share it at work. Maybe then I won't be the one who submitts 95% of the teams bug reports😭
