Got a suggestion?

The tootip for the 'Hardware' field does say "The hardware platform
the bug was observed on." I'm not sure how many people are matching
that field to their chipset, their OS, or their build of LibreOffice,
but at least personally I do use the field for my actual hardware
(setting the field only when relevant). In general, the detail of
word-size is a minor distinction within all our bugs.
