At the beginning I do not think that we get too much bug reports,
so we can scale up the thing later.

And then, I think it is important that everyone sees the bug messages
from each platform. This is a cross platform project, and if someone
changes his code on Linux which makes it crash on Windows, I think the
person should know it, even if it works on his platform.

Well, just 2 cents ...
