My main objections to having a "report bugs" button on the main page:
- I think users who are not too familiar with the workings of open source projects will be alarmed why we think it necessary to add a "report bugs" button right next to the "download" button. They want (the illusion? of) bug-free software (even if there is no such thing). - I want to avoid cluttering of the homepage. - I also think Randal has a point when he says that some small hurdle can help keep the number of not-so-helpful bug reports down. +1 for top of "get involved" page.
