You are right, Jason... But still, I think putting a bug in the group list first serves a purpose: it validates that others can reproduce....
When that happens (or when you get no response) then this serves as a useful pre-requisite before putting in a bug tracker. I have spend many a weekend removing bugs from issue trackers which did not have enough information to reproduce (that is - someone was convinced they found a bug, and maybe they did - but it was useless because others could not easily produce the problem). It makes sense to validate that you have a problem with the community before reporting it as a tracked problem, don't you agree?
