yes.

yeah, IMHO, it would be better.

please note that the above comment is only my own.
it's likely biased much, since i prefer a system like bugzilla to sf's
one.  or, simply posts on devel ML, which is well archived.
for me, sf's tracking system is nothing but annoying.
again, this is just my opinion.

the current system might be helpful, for example, for jaroslav.
but anyway, the situation atm looks not good;  unresolved bugs has
been growing and piled up, because no one moderates and assigns the
bugs.
