You are forgetting the bug submission process.  I don't want every
Gnus user to submit bugs, only developers and qualified users.  In the
Mozilla project, a lot of the bugs are things that the user simply
doesn't understand.  If I take the burden of tracking bugs, I want to
make sure they are real and not something best answered in the other
Gnus forums.

Just my 5 cents.
