OK, I have made a *quick* pass through the whole thing and sent a small
number of comments separately. There are things that could be tweaked
(there always will be) but I'm not sure we should worry about those yet.
I would suggest doing this:

 - Collapse the whole thing down to a patch adding reporting-bugs-v2.rst
   (or some suitable name).  I do wonder if it should also move to the
   process manual as part of this; not only admins will report bugs.

 - Add a comment at the top saying it's a proposed replacement and
   soliciting comments.  You could also put some of your other questions
   into the text for now and see if anybody reacts.  

 - In a separate patch you could add a comment to the existing document
   pointing to the new one as the true source of wisdom.

 - Dual licensed CC-SA-4.0 is fine with me.  CC-BY is OK if you really
   want to do it that way.  Either way, though, you'll need to add the
   license itself under LICENSES/preferred before it can go into the SPDX
   tag.

With that, I'd say let's just merge it and bash on it from there.

Thanks,

jon
