OK, I see. Let's try to define the problem better before we jump to
candidate solutions. I see three potential problems:

* letting users report about problems in translations: IMO it's
simpler for users if they just do it using the existing bug
reporting channels; our troubleshooting doc would become too
complicated IMO if we need to tell users "to report translation
issues, go there and use this tool; to report other kinds of
issues, go to that other place and use that other tool"

* letting translators know about problems reported by users: it's
front-desk's job to forward such reports to the relevant people,
including -l10n@

* translators' todo-list management: we have Redmine if anyone
needs this.

So, I'm very much unconvinced that we need yet another bug
reporting tool.
