Bjarni has found some actual bugs in the *roff generation in the past, but most of their bug reports are about things like trailing whitespace that seem like a waste of everyone's time to me. The occasional real bug report is useful, but the signal to noise ratio is bad enough that I'd want to see some more dedication to understanding what sorts of problems matter.
