No,

I think  the amouth of work that needs to be done to zap a gremlin is to 
much for most people.
We are developers, but most of us that want to zap something are not 
developers.

Letting these people sign up to bugtracker (the most be wondering wy to 
sign up again anyways...)
adding stuff to bugtracker and back again to de zap a gramling project 
is simply to much.

In a sence, adding something to bugtrack IS already zapping a gremlin.....

I think making a simple frontendform with simply ONE submit button and a 
few questions we ask the
user is much more efficient then doing it is like now..

Also, I noticed.. when I go to the zap-a-gremlin pag, I go to login... 
it doesn't bring me back with a redirect
also from the login page there is no reference to teh zap-a-gremlin page 
again.
These are to much of little things that can hold users back zapping a 
gremlin...

I really wonder how much of the 80 gremlins are submitted by 
developers/extention makers and how much are
made by 'normal' user (people that can setup typo3, but don't develop 
extentions, admins...).
