I don't think mailto: URLs is a battle we can win, pasting it into Safari for
example yields this error message:

"This website has been blocked from automatically composing an email."

It also assumes that users will paste the bugreport email into something that
parses URLs and not straight into the "To:" field of their email client. I'm
not sure that assumption holds.
