Like the original poster wrote, it's inspired by yet another rambling, ranting 
and entirely incoherent editorial from the web's no.1 address for incoherent 
rants, osnews.com. FWIW, that editorial makes no hints at some 
pay-for-features model like Maurizio has in mind. Instead it contains this:

"It's the project itself that needs to do the right moves to reach its 
audience and take a pick on their problems, not the other way around. For 
example, Apple has a very simple feedback page on their web site that doesn't 
require registering (as opposed to bugzilla which is very technical and 
requires extra thinking) where "normal" users can send, well, feedback. Apple 
developers use Apple's bug reporting page on their developer's sub-site, but 
plain users just have a form with few straight-forward fields to write down 
their gripes."

Well, if people like Eugenia feel better because there's a form on a website 
whose contents go more or less straight to the bitbucket (Microsoft has a 
similar facility somewhere, I stumbled over it once), that's something that 
can be implemented very quickly. And if the obvious uselessness of such a 
facility offends you, think of it as promotional - as others keep pointing 
out, we do need more promotion anyways.
