How Do You think, to get *useful* bugreports? Excluding people which
understand the functionality and task of a bugreporting system by
annoying? Reporting a bug is the one thing - maintaining it is the
other. Maintaining means:
- preparing the report by filtering the information provided
- stay prepaired to ask answers and deliver information required
  (including understanding the question).

You really think these kind of people are willing to spend *more* time
just to gather the form they know to fill? Not me!

Is there a link to learn more?

Never me!
Finally the colaboration of people needed for a good product is kept
away.

See the number of dups! The first thing I did when I finally got
the form was to open this bug - not doing anything which I would do
normaly: maintaining! Looking for dups, filtering information provided.
