32 Bugzilla isn't only used to report just bugs. It is also used to publish
33 new ebuilds which isn't a very *negative* experience I think.
34
35 Nevertheless concerning the "error reporting tool" you want I'd stay
36 with Bugzilla because it's already well-known and is tried and tested.
37
38 Considering your proposal for a system for publishing positive
39 experiences I think a wiki-like thing is enough.
40 You could make a tabular listing of the package version, the version of
41 gcc and the architecture and make the output of emerge --info and
42 possibly some other information available using a popup. Just for
43 keeping things readable.
