It could be useful if it:
- isn't full of spam
- contains unique bugs (not duplicates)
- has extensive information about the problem (ways to reproduce it,
screenshots/logs, platform details, people to contact to chase the
problem up)
- has a strong editorial staff/person enforcing the above 3

Someone was surprised a couple days ago when I asked about a bug, it is
because this list can become "verbose", I don't read every post fully.
Having something like this filter out the flame wars would certainly
help.

We are actually working on something internally that may enable this,
but I don't have a solid timeframe on it right now.
