Windows build bug, no bug number?

As I just pointed out on the build-dev list, the buildable JDK doesn't 
build on Windows (missing t2k.lib).

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2007-May/000000.html

I filed a bug on this, but bugs.sun.com doesn't issue bug numbers when you 
file bugs... instead, it puts your bug request in a moderation queue, with 
no way to directly monitor what's happening to it.

That may have made sense before the JDK was open source, but I think that 
now it makes more sense to assign every bug report a bug number 
immediately upon submission, (even the bogus bug reports) for discussion 
purposes only.

Thoughts?
