Not really a nice comment but a real issue?

I have two GitHub Issue Templates that gather the same information as 
the Oracle Web form for bug reports and feature requests. OpenJFX was 
the first project to move to GitHub. It could be the first to take over 
the bug submission, too. I know, easy for me to say! The burden would 
fall mainly on you and Kevin as project leads.

You can look at the old sandbox repository to see the kind of reports we 
would get, as they're still coming in there at a steady pace. I think we 
could be pretty ruthless in regards to the quality. I'm losing patience 
with Java developers who say a bug is important but can't bother to push 
the "Step Into" button instead of the "Step Over" button in their debugger.

But I'm fine as is, too. Maybe just let people know that they can become 
an Author and get access to the Java Bug System after only two commits! 
I was stunned when that happened.
