I've yet to see a bug tracker that doesn't make it trivial to identify bugs that were marked as invalid (ie: not a real bug). The only difference is that you actually have to mark them as such. Given the fairly low volume of non-bugs that come in through the web form, I don't think marking them will be a big issue (and as I mentioned previously, it's something that doesn't have to be done by anyone who's a committer). In fact, having such a system would probably save committers time, because they could look only at bugs that had been confirmed as valid by someone else. Right now, every time a non-bug gets filed dozens of people end up reading the report before they hit delete. -- Jim C.
