Yes, but there is severe lack of them -- it is not that sexy as
hacking on kernel, I suppose.

If it were as easy as moderating a mailman list there might be more
takers. What's the current workflow and where have you requested
volunteer help?

What this all tells me is that the requests for a newbie-friendly
bugzilla façade are low prio and people hacking in bugzilla or
replacements should focus on triager needs.

Create a query and read it via RSS.

But no, that's not what I do. I am cursed by reading ALL bugmails
regarding some particular components (a lots of them).

And of course, you can follow all emails to the package
maintainer.

What would be useful is something like comments on Slashdot or Digg,
useless comments can be folded out of the way. Also a way to just move
comments from one bug to another.

Hey why not bite the bullet and go to fully threaded comments. :P Noisy
conversations aren't exactly a new area of software engineering. We just
need to be mindful of the proven designs that have existed for decades.
