Quoted line prefixes make it easier to distinguish between the questions
and the answers, both for the reporter and for the readers.
This may improve things a bit, but the #1 thing that made the
reports most hard to read for me, while reading bugreport output
posted here over time, is lack of a blank line between each question
and its answer (and the tail end of an answer and the beginning of
the next question).
I’ve added this in the [v3].

[v3]: [ref]
quoted
-"Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!\n"
-"Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.\n"
+"> Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!\n"
+"> Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.\n"
 "\n"
I do not see a need to quote the above.  Nobody will write in this
space between the above introductory text and the first question
below.
I agree.  This has been changed as well in v3.
quoted
-"What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)\n"
