this is fine. the major reason for the sf site is to record bugs so that
people like me can have a go at fixing/triaging them. Before the tracker
there was no way really to find out about current bugs, because everyone
has their private bug lists. For short-lived bugs that's fine, but it's
certainly not for things like the ghostscript hang xforms bug (I duplicated
a lot of work of others tracking that down).
So I hope that explains the motivation. From your point of view you don't
have to touch the tracker if you don't want - it's my job to keep it up
to date (and hassle people to fix bugs I can't etc.)
