Utterly useless. I already have a HUGE number of bug reports. The problem
is that 90% of them are essentially useless when first reported. It requires
several back/forth interactions between myself & the bug reporter to get 
enough information to diagnose & resolve the problem. If we create a system
where we bombard maintainers with bugreports & no scope for user interaction
they'll end up directly in /dev/null, and further discourage maintainers
from addressing even bugs with enough info.
