IMHO I don't think it would add additional work - rather the opposite.

a) it would serve as a common reference point for people to check against to see
if a bug they'd found had already been reported (this group's signal to noise
ratio can be a problem in that respect)

b) anyone could add to the db, but the understanding would be that they should
only do so after confirming with this group that they'd found a bug

c) like a) but for the bug-fixers to see which bugs were outstanding

Anyway, I'll go ahead and do it and then the pov-team can take a look and see if
it looks like a useful resource if no one has any objections? If it's no good,
the only time wasted is my own....
