Thanks!  I will do so.

But this isn't really about me specifically, it is a way for any user
to make the bug triaging load easier.  Even if users aren't
specifically hunting for bugs that should be closed, they can still
stumble upon them when using bko normally, and when they do it would
be helpful if there was a way for them to notify developers about the
issue so it can be fixed.   Of course we can't just give every user
admin rights, the final decision would still have to go through
someone trusted, but the people who have the authority to make a
decision can't if they don't know the issue exists.  Hence a dedicated
way to inform them would help, I think.
