I'm not asking for myself. The question was why a lot of users shy away 
from reporting bugs to us.

participation, in a lot of ways.

tackle my problems with Emacs. So whatever we end up, that is a
requirement I have. I don't say we shall use debbugs forever, but if we
move to another system, I don't want to loose this feature.
