Hm, let me make sure I understand this.

You ask for an important change, want it to be motivated by *voting*
(instead of an educated decision on sound technical base and estimation
of impact) -- and you feel you're not able to provide summaries of
existing problems? 

Note, Greg didn't ask you to reproduce the existing bugs, he merely
suggested that you have a look onto the tracked issues in order to help
with getting an overview, which is a very useful suggestion in my mind,
because it is something that everybody can help with; it doesn't require
programming skills. It would be very constructive, IMO, and a very
valuable form of contribution.
