Well, I would refer to that as "lack of discipline", but regardless - the
solution to this problem is to introduce a well-defined process, which is
exactly what I'm proposing with the "bug scrub".  I didn't invent this
concept, its widely used within software engineering teams, and my personal
experience of it is that it is a great way to ensure that what is in the
bugtracker reflects reality.
