Addin the Bugtracker in the Site Menu Bar

Hi everyone,

just a short question, may improvement proposal.
I am always using google to look for the dolphin bug tracking system.
Can you add an item in the menu bar on top of your page.

Here a screenshot of the current page:


After ...Forum, Wiki, Code an item which states Bugs or Issue Tracking would be great.
It must only be a link to your bug tracking system.

Right now, the bug tracker is intentionally omitted from there, to avoid support requests and other non-bugs that are better suited for the forums. In case there are real bugs, we'll pick them apart and create an issue regardless.

Then why not closing the bug tracker? Means only for internal use.
At least users can look into the tracking system to see if the issues they have are already entered.
Especially to know the status or maybe workaround could be helpful, also in a thread here in the forum.
But it is only a proposal.

We get enough bogus bug reports from users without advertising links to the tracker. It would be a mess if we did advertise it. We'd also get a lot of noise from users spamming for updates on an issue they want fixed when we already know it's there.

The system now works well enough for us.

We do find bug reports from users helpful (though not always), so having the bug tracker closed isn't ideal. Sometimes it's also helpful when users provide more information on existing issues. It would be a mess if users posted that in the forums and we had to copy from there to the bug tracker every time. The current way of doing it is a good compromise between getting too many useless reports and not getting enough useful reports.
