I think bugzilla is a good place for bugs.  In enforces some structure
on bug reports.  List can become stuffed with messages like "my X is
borked".  Bugzilla at least weeds out some of the more vague bug
reports.  If you can figure out bugzilla, you usually can help a
developer solve the problem.  If the fedora user base grows, there need
to be a screen between the developers and the end users.
