12 I agree, a bugzilla bug is usaully better.
13
14 Though I am somewhat of the opinion that if people only reached as far
15 as to report it via email, we should accept it in that form and do the
16 rest ourselves.
17
18 Some people, myself included, hate signing up for things on a regular
19 basis.
20
21 And email is thus simply another way people can engage in opensource
22 freely.
23
24 Additional barriers and requirements are not required here.
25
26 Its already cost both of us combined more effort than relaying the bug
27 ourselves ;)

29 As it happens, a bug meeting the OPs' description was already filed
30 last September, and its maintainers just haven't gotten around to
31 fixing it yet.

35 So this time, an additional bug is not required to be opened :)
