Hi Thomas,
The bug trackers I proposed are all free to use and cloud bug trackers
(meaning no one has to maintain a server or something).
What's needed are admins for that bug tracker.
Categories can be created when needed.
If there are enough maintainers I think it can be done, the community is
big and if people really care about this issue I don't think it should
be a problem to find some.
If they don't really care so much then we will see no one stepping in,
that's for sure.
regards,
Daniele Segato

Oops, I sent my reply just to you, so here again for all to see:
on the one hand that's a good idea. On the other hand we would need
someone who is willing to host and maintain that bug tracker. Setting up
products, versions etc. is a lot of work in a bug tracking system.
That's why I think that a wiki has more chances to "take off" with the
majority of Android developers as users. There are 10.000-something
different Android devices out there. It's not much of a problem to
introduce new devices in a wiki. But it takes a whole deal of dedication
for doing that in a bug tracking system

I think a wiki is not a good idea for something like this.
More like this:

I think we need a bug tracker that allow tagging by vendor, devices,
device variant, android version and let the user combine those when
searching.
It would also be good to have some statistics on those tags/categories.
Jira would be perfect, but it's not free.
I can list some, but do not know them well enough to compare or to know
if they fit:
- Google Code: https://code.google.com/
- GitHub - the repository can just be a readme - https://github.com/
- SourceForge - http://sourceforge.net/
I'm sure there are others.
