Why not create a page in the admin section that does two things:

1) lists on the screen several pages of detailed info about drupal, php, mysql, apache, etc (specifically all modules you have on the server, and which ones are on) maybe a database integrity check against the update.php script, and anything else a debugger might want. one long page like php.info (maybe even include php.info in #2 below)

2) has a button to export this list as an xml file for attachment to the issue tracker.

seems like you guys might already have this, i just dont see it.

This exists at admin/logs/status in 5.x :) Personally, I think it's an unintuitive location, but that is a separate topic.

See http://drupal.org/node/99529 for a patch to add a listing of installed Drupal modules.

See example.com/?q=admin/logs/status

Although this page doesn't export xml.

Doesnt really help in finding out what a code conflict might be if I have 50 modules installed (which I do already for 5.0). It also doesnt give any of the details on how my php is set up, just a version # (though it does link to it).

It just seems like if there was an easy way to track what modules a user had on the server, ones they had checked, and the versions of each it would be easier to resolve bugs. having this all in one file that was to get posted with a bug report would help -- or no? you're the devs :-)

Maybe even utilize a mozilla style bug reporting engine...

nice idea.
Could be made a requirement for support requests/troubleshooting problems ;)
It's tiring asking folk for basic info about their systems in the forums...
