Nope nor the ones that other distribution reporters use to get their 
issue fixed since their own distribution cant fix it.

The only way I would say we could handle this would be to ask each 
reporter to run a fedora specific tool that would generate a hash number 
which would have to accommodate each report they file  ( and a different 
generated number each time ) and no one from the community would act on 
the report if it was missing that number.

Again you guys seem to make this pidora specific I'm far more concerned 
about other Fedora remixes out there.
