I'm not saying its right, I'm saying its a fact, and as far as I know,
always has been.

I don't understand what you mean by "managed". I hate to see the waste
coming from peoples bug reports being used as little as they are now.
Adding to that more wasted energy of tracking them  seems meaningless,
unless they are *used* for something. Can you please elaborate how you
think we could incorporate bug reports into the communities work?

Because right now it isn't a part of our work, and I think finding the
right way to integrate it is the only way we'll get more benefit from
them.
