It isn't used that much, which is a bummer. I like it a lot more since 
it easier to keep track of bugs that are outstanding (currently I just 
try to save them in a mail box, but sometimes I don't get a chance to 
look at them or know if someone else has fixed them).

Also I was told that the current system on savannah is not really a bug 
tracker but more like a 'help-line' for users. But it's the best we have.

I would try to report bugs that are related together, if possible.
