I'm just in general not a big fan of the bug tracker. I've got a bunch of bugs that I can choose from at any time without having to go through some web form that requires me to log in and wait for slow queries. It doesn't give *me* anything. It is in some ways counter-productive. People expect putting a report in there to have an effect, but it's actually less interactive than email, harder to get correct details (like half the reports are from Nobody, for instance), harder to find out the real problem. I actually think it should be disabled, destroyed, dismembered.
