It wouldn't be so overwhelming if there were fewer bugs.

The word is 'elaborate', and bugzilla is excedrin headache #1 to me.  
If you want bugzilla reports, then fix bugzilla so we CAN file a 
report.  Getting stuck in search loop's infinite version of hell, 
with no way to get to the editor and make a new report is not 
productive use of time for either of us.  We give up and you don't 
get the report, so both of our time spent on bugzilla is wasted.  Fix 
bugzilla so *we* can file bug reports if you want bug reports.

And let us know when it has been fixed.

The automated crash reporting tools for this supplied with FC4, with 
all their pulldown choices, have not so far been effective as the 
pulldowns don't include the name of the app that actually failed in 
their choices, (where is rhn-applet, or kde 'kicker') and even if 
they did, how would one get the message out when there is no 
networking?  The networking setup is now totally fubar, doing ipv6 
stuffs only, which doesn't work in an ipv4 environment.  It might be 
a nice idea in the ideal world, but it certainly isn't worth its disk 
space in the real world, with real problems.

A bugzilla that works FOR REAL PEOPLE is whats needed.
