Actually, i enjoyed reading this string of emails from The 'Meister.

That would be a Good Thing, but i must point out that it is already
*relatively* easier than in some bug trackers.

bugzilla.wikimedia.org is the tracker where i report more bugs than
elsewhere. The second is bugzilla.mozilla.org . It's not because
Firefox has less bugs (quite the contrary!) but because Mozilla's
tracker requires me to fill more fields, such as steps for
reproduction. This may encourage detailed reporting that helps
developers solve the bugs, but it may also discourage people from
reporting them in the first place.

I don't have precise data about this, which means that bug reporting
should be included in the next round of usability testing. (There will
be another round of usability testing One Day, right?)
