Here's a thought: maybe both the cooker list and bugzilla should be
replaced with a forum-like website, where people post their bug
reports and other people moderate them up if they seem to have
merit. You'd want it to have some bugzilla features. Maybe what I'm
getting at is more like a publicly accessible bugzilla with comments
and moderation like in the forum. Except that nobody seems to use the
moderation features of the forum. But if people knew that bugs which
got modded up were more likely to be fixed, I think they'd use it.

The nice thing about forums like Slashdot or MandrakeForum is that
they are a lot easier to skim for casual users looking for a specific
issue without wading through hundreds of messages in your inbox... the
forum structure helps make it easier to skip the messages I don't care
about today. Marrying bugzilla and php-nuke could lead to something
useful here. It might also help with the stability issues the cooker
list has been having lately.

Just a thought...
