We should document the user has to request a Gitlab 'Reporter' access to
the project, and warn there might be a delay of some days before the
request to be accepted, before the user be able to fill the bug.

TBH this is annoying and could discourage reporters to fill bugs.

Personally I fill a bug when I have all pieces in front of me. I'm
less motivated to take notes of my environment to come back filling
the bug ticket few days later.
