I was talking to Knome about this, I think that the qa tracker should show the latest known bugs for a test case, say you do a Desktop i386 test, and someone reports that some icons are missing on a given program, next users knowing this bug is present can open the program and see if the icons are missing, this is obviously a simple task, some others can be harder, but this would help testers to focus their attention on known problems and improve the overall effectiveness of tests
