You don't need to make it compulsory to fill out those fields and if 
just 1 out of every 10 or 20 bugs gets that filled then it is still a 
big leap forward.

Or... Ask for a dev whose whole job is to fill out those forms. I'm sure 
there are plenty of non-coders out there who would be willing to do it, 
even a team!
