+Ben, you were pointed out as the person to provide "the official" response :)
To clarify: we are not asking nor imply that anybody will actually act
in any way on the reported bugs. I mean anybody is welcome to, but
don't have to.
We can also just create a public web dashboard (+new opt-in mailing
list), if that's what we agree on here.
And if there is an active interest in acting on the reports, we can
also test the unstable release (that's the better place to fix,
right).
