I don't see that it's necessarily a bad thing, though, to try to educate
forum users (or users who come in through any venue) in how to report
bugs. DenverD directs a fair number of people to bugzilla to file bugs,
and has some success in getting responses back from people saying that
they have filed a bug.

As a passer-by, the biggest problem with bugzilla is that it requires
creation of an account. Debian BTS is a lot more non-subscriber friendly
and allows to converse via mail, not needing to specially open a
browser.

And actually, forum users also have to create an account - that same
account is used for access to bugzilla - so in some ways, the forum users
are one step further along in that process because they already have the
account to create bugs. :-)
