OTOH is easy to ignore an "how to register to the tracker" section if you are 
already registered or if you don't need to register now or you think you know 
how to do it.
Also note that I'm not adding these sections, but I'm just moving them from the 
bugs page in the doc (with some markup changes and refactoring).
The only section I added is "Finding an Issue You Can Help With".

Agreed, and registering and using the bug tracker is part of this set up, 
regardless of how obvious the process is (or should be).

Anyway, it would be fine with me to not document these "basic" tasks (how to 
register/login/search), but it seems to me that people think that the content 
of the bugs page is useful, and I would rather have it with the rest in the 
devguide, rather than having it in a separate page.
