The SF bug tracker is not as pratical as, e.g., bugzilla, not even close... The main advantages of having a bug tracking system is that users can search for duplicate problems, and that developers can know which bugs are still unsolved.

(Personally, I think that it even may be the best to do.) But then more developers should equally subscribe to the dri-users mailing list and give answers to the user's problems there...
