Wolfgang I know you were addressing Mark, but I have a lot of bugzilla 
activity and here are my thoughts. You are asking rev team to be more 
proactive and the rev team is asking you to be more proactive. Both 
sides have to give.  Maybe you need to make the effort to learn 
bugzilla. It won't take long.

IMHO it's not realistic to expect them to catch all bug reports from 
this list and get them into bugzilla. However I would expect that the 
rev team does read this list with bugzilla in mind and opens bugzilla 
bugs when something jumps out at them. Since they use bugzilla 
internally too, and there are lots of bugs (eighty-some count) reported 
by runrev staff, I think this is what they are doing.

I plan on using the new voting feature in bugzilla because it's an 
opportunity to be more proactive letting the rev team know what I think 
is a serious bug and what's not.

In the past few weeks I've noticed increased bug fixing activity in 
bugzilla, and that about 30% of my reported bugs have been fixed or are 
being investigated. It seems like the rev team is focusing now on 
quality after the frenzy of adding new features around the 2.0 and 2.1 
releases. Yeah rev team!
