[wp-hackers] Fixing Bugs

[jacobsantos at branson.com]

I like this idea, but I think it has more to do with users submitting 
patches for bugs. Which I think is what the bug hunts are all about, 
finding and submitting patches.

I also think that reasons should be given when closing as invalid or 
wontfix. It is good bug handling in my opinion and something that won't 
annoy those who submit bugs. Some bugs marked as won't fix or invalid 
mean that the bug is external to the application that can't be fixed 
easily. However, making it clear what the developers intention was would 
go a long way.

There will never be any release in any application where everything 
works. However, fixing what bugs we have now would be an awesome idea! 
Documenting the code should go along with this idea.
