Concerning the first point I hope that till we would start with that once our 
bugtracker is cleaned up, so the developer would a) know what is in there b) 
has an interest to actually close the bug report as otherwise it would just 
start to get useless again.

Second concern is of course really important as it would look like bureaucracy 
to a dev. But if a developer finds a bug himself in the freeze state there is 
something wrong. I hope that till then we have a quality team which finds the 
issues early. Btw. I create bug reports when I find a bug which I fix myself.

So yeah something like this can only be done once the bugtracker is in a 
useable state and till there I agree on the -1.
