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. But with the current state of affairs neither actually 
verifies!

I also felt the same when I tried to answer to some bug reports. It does 
get in the way...

If nobody else is paying attention to the SF bugtrack system, then we 
should really close it. (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...
