Provided it's kept up-to-date. I.e. it calls for some tools (and these require the suggested changes).

I'll only object that imvvvvho there is no global problem here: * If user meets a serious problem, the maintainer will surely ask him to test some fix, to specify some point or whatever. Thanks to System, user will save 5 or 10 minutes. To be compared to the time spent with said maintainer or preparing the bug report. * If user don't know how to submit and don't use some exotic driver, I bet he will start by posting to l-k and be eventually redirected. * If user has identified problem with his FooBar SS6 adapter, chances are that he knows who he should reach.
I have no problem with it but I'm not sure it's *really* useful.
