Probably you don't know that this is going on on bugzilla, as suggested
by Takashi. I'm collecting the information on how to eventually proceed,
and I'll open two trackers, one for GNOME and one for KDE, soon. 

A summary of a problem is simply its description: it might be the title
of bugreport. I can surely do that. The question is: would it be of any
use to fix problems?

In my answer I meant that that summary would be of very limited use to
fix those problems, which is what Greg wants to try to do.
I can write that "User X has the problem Y on hardware Z", but if I
don't have the hardware Z and user X doesn't provide feedback himself,
you have no real advantage from the summary. It might help to decide
what to do though, that's granted.

Regards,
A.
