From bug 294957 comment 13:

Unfortunately it does not work this way in some cases.

When it works:
1) Help->Report Bug or Enhancement
2) Error Log-> Right Mouse over log entry -> Report as Bug -> Select repository ->...

When it does not work:
1) Error Log-> Right Mouse over log entry -> Report as Bug -> Report to: Eclipse.org – Subversive SVN Team....
In last case everything set in preProcess() become completely ignored.

	> Otherwise you can implement process() and use
	> contribution.setAttribute(IRepositoryConstants.DESCRIPTION, "My information")
	> to force a description.

This method is probably useless because there seems no way to obtain stack trace from the Mylyn status through the public API.
And even if I call contribution.appendToDescription("My additional information") in process() method context, I still get Mylyn's description overwritten which is slightly contradicting to the method name semantics.

Mylyn has been restructured, and our issue tracking has moved to GitHub [1].

We are closing ~14K Bugzilla issues to give the new team a fresh start. If you feel that this issue is still relevant, please create a new one on GitHub.
