Very much agree. And nominate someone(s) who must triage and respond.

And an email template and/or simple web form for reporting bugs with would be

have', exact version number with directions for discovering it, list of RPMs 
(with versions) you suspect of being involved, with exact versions number, 
instructions for discovering same, etc etc.
