This hasn't proven to be the case anywhere else.  Bugs tend to be something a
small number of interested parties get involved with ("interested" being defined
by the MAINTANIERS list).  Once a bug is root caused and a solution developed,
the list is used to debate its merits.

The kernel has done this for years with kernel.bugzilla.org, and it works quite
well.
