Yes I know - just being honest. I was in a meeting - and had a few threads
to reply to - I click to vote on the bug - bingo login not remembered by
browser - so I drop it hoping to come back later - still not done. If
Wikipedia or any crowd sourcing interface adopted that  interface the
database would not have got off the ground. I think it took me over 9 months
to realise Bugzilla even existed - its not in the IDE, prominently on the
web site, or links in the footer of the emails from the list - it is
effectively invisible to only those that are active developers. It is an
old-school marketing attitude to bury "bug reporting" under the guise of
"quality control".
