And what about a feature to automatically send bug reports to the developers?
It exists and is called Wine-bugs.
As to the metabug feature you are requesting, that has been shot down
more times than you would care to know.
The way that things work is:
Create entry in AppDb. Rate as appropriate (Platinum is only for
programs that work mostly flawlessly with NO substitution of code,
patches or complete .dll files).
If an issue exists, create a bug report AFTER looking for similar
sounding bug reports. If an existing bug report exists, update it with
the new program name and VOTE for the bug.
Link the bug report into the AppDB entry (otherwise duplicates and and
will be created.)
Watch the bug report. Sometimes it will take a long time for any
activity as bugs are generally worked by 'experts' and these are usually
function related.
If you have little or no Windows source exposure and know how to work in
a clean-room building environment, you are always welcome to work on
bugs. Start small and work your way up....
