Applet vs. Viewer: I do fully agree with you, but our users mix both terms
in the forum, and I preferred to have both terms to avoid any
misunderstanding.
Capitalization: can do :-)

I thought about it as well, here my reasoning: some/most users won't be
able to assign correctly the bug as it requires not much but still a bit
of technical understanding, but (hopefully) they'll be able to categorize
under an operating system at least. Better have someone assigned who can
then check the bug (because he has the OS at home) and reassign it
properly. Thinking further, we could have less knowledgeable but
technically affine people, who could stand behind those OS categories
(like I'm already standing behind the Linux category).

Well, patches often fix bugs or make *small* improvements, so here the
usefulness should be as obvious as for bugs. For enhancement requests or
enhancement patches, it's in deed more disputable.
Nevertheless, just let me tell you this: we have currently 493 open
enhancement requests. Shouldn't we try to do something about those? By
auto-assigning such requests to the person who's best to implement the
request, perhaps we would alleviate the issue in the future.
