Consider adding `M-x report-emacs-bug' to the splash page.
(And consider pointing out the Help menu, on the splash page.)

Here is one indication that a new user might not know how to file a
bug report: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20628#284

  This is a bug that had annoyed me 4 or 5 years ago when I first used
  Emacs, but at that time I didn't really know how to report bugs.
