hi.
because i am not a developer or programmer i am not shure about sourcecode.
but for bug reporting i am shure that bugzilla and the current way of
bug reporting in bugzilla is the most excellent, reliable, easy and
accessible way.

O people! there has come to you indeed an admonition from your Lord
and a healing for what is in the breasts and a guidance and a mercy
for the believers.
Say: In the grace of Allah and in His mercy-- in that they should
rejoice; it is better than that which they gather.
holy quran, chapter 10.
