If you're doing it for fun then anything's possible (but smaller
projects like this are more likely ;-). There is a gotcha here,
though. Any bug reporter application would have to integrate with
Apple's Radar system, so no one can just go off and write such a
beast on his own.
Not necessarily.
If the bug reporter app fed into its own public "community" database., then that would allow Apple engineers to look at what's being reported out in the community (and they could be annotated with corresponding radar reports, or even just promote bugs to radar semi-automatically when appropriate) , but, more importantly, would allow the community to swap information and workarounds in a way that simply isn't possible with the (almost) black hole that is (for understandable reasons) Radar.
This would just put a more formal structure/process on top of what already happens in public forums in any case.
I don't think that this is very likely to happen or to take off though, or for end-user bug report apps to be much of a commercial proposition. The overhead (in time and effort) for bug reporting is already too high, and most of that overhead is in identifying a good test case and writing up the bug itself. Filling in the OS version etc. is insignificant in comparison, at least for me.
Just my $0.02, though. Someone could be halfway done writing one even
as we speak for all I know. ;-)
