bugzilla.kernel.org is, umm, improving.
It would be an intersting exercise for someone to spend a few days seeing how many of the bugzilla reports they personally can reproduce. I'd guess "zero". There's a lesson in that.
The problem with bugzilla will be that it will be hard to find reports where the reporter will be able to work with you on the fix - we've let them go cold.
The most fruitful place to find fixable bugs is linux-kernel. People who report bugs there are sufficiently motivated to have actually sent the email and the bug is still recent, so they probably haven't done the Solaris install yet.
