Yes, maybe I was thinking of KDE's "don't skip this step" and mis-remembering the details of how it looks. How it looks doesn't really matter, I just think the current notice at the top of the Enter Bug page is almost invisible and should be more prominent. Another option would be to add some of the first few sentences from http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ "Before you report a bug, please check the list of well-known bugs and, if possible, try a current release or development snapshot. Before reporting that GCC compiles your code incorrectly, compile it with gcc -Wall -Wextra and see whether this shows anything wrong with your code. Similarly, if compiling with -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv makes a difference, your code probably is not correct. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for the full bug writing guidelines" I'll prepare some mockups for people to look at and see if they like it.
