check the buglist whenever I have a problem. If the problem is known
and unfixed, I usually can't wait for the fix anyway and have to do
a hotfix or woraround myself.But at least I know it's a bug and can
stop searching for a mistake I may have made. Even if no active
committer ever looked into the buglist, it'd still be a valuable
resource for users.

I suppose the biggest problem with the current FOP buglist is that most
users are unaware that the current 0.20.3 is a maintenance branch only.
This information is not very prominent in the documentation which leads
users to expect more from the FOP committers than they realistically can.

My two cents.
