I agree, this all does seem a little weird. I think the strangest is that there's no sticky or anything, at least that I've seen, which goes over guidelines on making a bug report.

Seeing something like that, to give people a bit of a template so everyone can be more thorough with their reports, as well as a verified "known issues" list so you don't have to worry if what you're saying is already well known or not would be very comforting.

There are a lot of things I haven't even bothered mentioning because they happen so much I figure they're well covered already, but to be completely honest I don't even know if that's true. There have also been things I thought seemed so obvious to report, but couldn't find any search results for!

Not to be too negative, but it makes it feel like the feedback isn't taken that seriously, because everything seems so unofficial. Even most of the stickies seem unofficial.
