My concern here is this won't be their actual electron version, it will be the globally installed version rather than their locally installed version.
Maybe node_modules/.bin/electron --version

Great point. Updating the PR to do this instead.

Description of Change
When taking bug reports, ask for the output of
electron --version
instead of asking for the version number. If users run this and paste it into the issue report, we'll get fewer misreported versions.We often get reports against Electron versions that don't exist or bug reports that are named almost like a brand new release but have a digit off and instead name an older beta from months ago, which is suspicious. Now that we have nightly builds and master represented as a number newer than the beta line, the confusion is likely to get worse.
thoughts, @sofianguy @codebytere ? Is this overkill?
