I don't think we should promote any bug tracker as the entry point for
most users. They should interact with discussion or the like and find
out if there's really a bug there and get directed from there where to
file it.

I think thats good for maintainers/advanced users, but many users will
not know that a crash of foo is due to a bug in libbar or how even to
find out the source component for the thing thats causing them problems.
