Alright, after playing around with the checkbox alignment a bit and reaching the point of diminishing returns, I came up with this: slightly shorter text around the checkbox, and the button saying "Submit Bug Report."
I still think that is a regression, since fact that it's generating an email is *removed* from the button. See previous comment to that regard, suggesting the addition of "public". But it seems I may be outvoted on that :)
I also wonder if we should just remove the basically identical text from the top of the form, now that it sits with the confirmation checkbox? Or keep them both in the vain hope that people might read at least one of them? :)
I'll let this bake a couple of days and after such, if no objections, I'll commit it.
The actual objection I have was also mentioned before, which is that the docs comment submission form should be treated the same way. They're basically the same thing, just to a different mailinglist, so there is no reason to expect people to read them differently.
