Thanks everyone for your feedback. I have filed a number of bugs in 
Bugzilla and currently have a small list of them I'm working on 
currently. Here is the current list I created based on the replies to 
this thread:

Bug 542 - bitbake "NoProvider" message doesn't aid in resolving the problem
http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542

Bug 1127 - Improve the error reporting when SkipPackage error is raised
http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1127

Bug 1128 - Meaningless error message when quilt is not installed
http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1128

Bug 1141 - bitbake -b prints meaningless error when given an invalid
recipe name
http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1141

Bug 1142 - git fetcher error when wrong protocol is specified is not helpful
http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1142

Bug 1143 - Remove python stack trace when do_patch fails
http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1143

Bug 1144 - bb.debug messages are not logged or displayed on the console
with -DDD during recipe parsing
http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1144

Bug 1145 - Make bitbake output less noisy for non-error cases
http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1145

Again, not all of those are on my plate for M2/M3, but my goal is to 
make a dent in them soon.

Scott
