Bugs get more visibility than reports somewhere. There are currently
less than 300 open IDs, if I interpret the statistics correctly.

But yes, opening a bug for every open ID probably doesn't make sense.

How about only opening bugs for the "All Newley Detected" category?
If someone just committed code they are more likely to feel responsible
than looking at a list of ~300 anaonymous reports.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
