Linking negative karma points to a reported bug

[Karel Volný]

I simply don't like this idea, there is enough bugzilla noise and 
enough bureaucracy (read: obstacles) for anyone wanting to 
contribute (yes, even just clicking +1/-1 karma is a valuable 
contribution ...)

- is this opinion worth 0.02€? :-)


btw, reading the subject line, at first I understood it in a way 
that a negative karma comment will be mirrored into bugzilla 
comment of the appropriate bug _if it exists_

that would be good, IMO

note that *I* do updates based on
- fixing actual bugs
- "fixing" bugs reported by updates monitoring
so at least one bug exists for each update

this may vary for different packages & contributors ...
