+Reaction from an end-user that has filed/commented/viewed a lot of bug 
+reports.
+
+- I like the idea of separating
+-- main bug reports.
+All releases together.  A lot of end-users are not very aware of the 
+version/release of the software with the bug until they are well into 
+the reporting process.  So selecting the release would be better delayed 
+to the bug report entry page.
+Plus the idea of eventually having bugs applying to multiple releases 
+(mentioned on another post) sounds good, as well.
+
+-- documentation
+Tends to be reported/corrected by different people than software bugs.
+
+-- localisation (maybe combined with documentation ?)
+Also tends to be reported by different people than software bugs, and 
+corrected by translators.
+
+-- cauldron
+
+- Better to avoid listing .srpm's.  Most end-users filing bug reports 
+have no idea what they are.  So no point in slowing down bugzilla for that.
+And from the .rpm, packagers/developers will be able to find the .srpm 
+quickly enough.
+
+- The idea of a multiline .rpm field (mentioned on another post) seems 
+an excellent idea.  Better to list all related .rpm's in one location 
+than putting additional .rpms into the description and/or comment 
+fields.  (Not only for mageia-app-db.)
+
+my 2 cents :)
