How do we deal with variations, i.e. VM, VMS, vm, virtual memory, virtual,
etc.?

A predefined list would limit choices, to some extent.  Freeform would
lead to a lot of variation, or missing fields. (as many people reporting
bugs may not know the correct keyword)  Could a suggested list be built
from the known keyword entries?
