I think here you are wrong. I'm working on OpenOffice.org and there
all commited bugs will be send in a mailing list. So every guy is able
to see all bugs commited from the community. Also if the developer
assign the bug, fix it and so on is send automatically to the mailing
list. I think to use this system is not to difficult. I have to work
with this every day and I like it. I see all kinds of bugs I'm
interested in and see what is happen with this bugs.

I think (hope) there is such a list at Opera, because I think the
developer work with this list or how do they remember all commited
bugs? Also I think (hope) there is a Quality Assurance and how do the
developers tell they that a bug is fixed and they are able to test it?

I think this would not work if there is no support of the developers
and the Quality Assurance of Opera.
