There is no specific practice for a repo full of bug reports. Having a repo full of bug reports is already unusual. Normally you report a bug against the software that has a bug, not by creating a file in your own repo.

I've created bug reports to open source projects that have related files in my repo. Then I can just list the reproduction instructions like:

1) arrange xxx, such that yyy.. or git clone this repo where this is set up. 2) ..

I thought that might have been quite helpful not just to the person I'm sending the bug report to, but also to myself when I need to evaluate if the bug has been fixed.
