I don't see how Microsoft can afford to miss those important reports. Sure, 
there'll be a lot of noise, but you just put someone on there to filter them. 
And besides, with all the vaunted machine intelligence we've been hearing about 
lately, surely some sort of automated filter could be devised.

For example, one could automatically filter out borderline illiterate 
submissions, and close duplicates.

Or one could make it a public tracker, and let the crowd filter them, sort of 
like reddit.
