Can I propose something? I realize gnats does most of this, but... Suppose there's some central list where anyone who is having unresolved problems can post their e-mail address, section of code, and a brief explaination of the symptoms. Other people acn go to this list and tack on their e-mail address to other people's compalaints saying "I'm seeing this too.". Before each release, all of these people are e-mailed saying "Can you test to see if your problem still exists?" This will also be a bonus for developers to find people who are experiencing specific problems, to see if their fixes work. I know this is a lot like gnats, however: I don't think gnats wants a list of 'me too's in it. It's not easy to mail groups of people from gnats. There's no reason for anyone to add their e-mail address to a PR at the moment. I'm not sure if this'll make things more confusing or not, but... It'll stop people with legitimate problems from getting lost in the shuffle, and keeps PR's to more timely issues. Anyone have any comments? Really, i'm just picturing a list of people with specific problems... maybe gnats can be tuned a bit for this...
