But bugzilla is universally understood to be neither kinder nor
gentler. :)

I'm not sure what the bottom line is here ... is it better to have one
tool, albeit one with a high barrier to entry?  Or should we accept an
easier to use tool, therefore attracting more usage, but increasing our
workload across the two tools?

If I had to file a bug for every error I found, I'd go nuts.  I'd much
rather fill out a quick ticket or, better yet, email docs-bugs at fp.o and
have a ticket automagically created.

I don't care if it uses BZ or OTRS on the backend. :)
