subject: is this a bug?

I had one on SourceForge in the past and I had a love hate releationship with
it.  It was nice to have a centralized spot to report things, but not everyone
used it so I still had to answer the same questions here and on the bug site.

I also had multiple occasions where someone didn't like my explaination or
reasoning for closing a bug report, so as part of their temper tantrum they
would spam the site with duplicate bug reports, and I would have to clean it
all up.

Often times people wouldn't check the open bugs first and would unintentionally
report the same bugs over and over and I have to spend time managing and
commenting on all of them.

When it was going smoothly though, it was beneficial to have.

Keeping up with the 60-100+ messages a day can be pretty time consuming on its
own, and I am already spending way more time talking about Mystic than I am
working on it these days.  I'm not sure if a bug database would be a benefit or
just another thing that pulls me away from actual development time.
