Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to throw work on bug squad members.  I'm not 
suggesting that you or anyone else should have to triage them.  I'm just 
suggesting that there be some listening in so that people on the Lilypond team 
at least get alerted when a bug is reported in a distro.

I don't think that this will be a large number of reports -- my impression is 
that most issues with Lilypond get reported directly here anyway.  But I can't 
see that it's not useful to _know_ when a bug gets reported elsewhere.
