Cool. Indeed, it would be amazing if frontdesk could flag each report
with the relevant ticket IDs, FAQ entries, doc pages that the user
didn't find, etc.; this would help us *a lot* focusing our work on
what matters most (keeping in mind the next topic, i.e. not putting
100% of our efforts to satisfy the needs of the most verbose members
of our *current* user base).

Excellent! (although this doesn't address the need to get non-bug
feedback from our broader user base, that I don't expect will be
fairly represented at IFF)
