We prefer to hear about bugs in emacs-22.1, EMACS_22_BASE, and CVS HEAD,
so it is better to reproduces the bugs on one of those versions using
emacs -Q, and then report it here.

Sure, that's what I usually do. However, occasionally I can't reproduce or even understand reports without the right knowledge. There, collaboration is needed in the sense that some experts need to give the right hint, as was just the case for this C++ mode bug. This kind of collaboration has worked arguably well for everyone involved since 2005, and we have squashed a number of bugs in the Emacs 22 code base (not in Aquamacs) this way. So, I see no need to change the modus operandi at this point.

PS.: Yes, the projects compete in some ways, and they collaborate in others. The publicity reflects that. Aquamacs has more than 10,000 different users every week, who have chosen to use the Aquamacs variant of GNU Emacs. These new users are new GNU Emacs users, too, and they reflect the great success for everyone that has contributed to Emacs 22.1.
