Or perhaps invert it: no bug fix without a Fixes: tag.  Some of the
human handlers of robot based finders, like Dan's smatch, do go back
and figure out where the bug came from, but if we encourage the rule
that if you're fixing a bug you must identify the origin and explain
the bug it may help weed out some bogus fixes.

There seem to be two strands here: how to gain trust in the submitter
and a process which makes it easy to identify for someone familiar with
the subsystem to identify the actual bug, but I think improving our bug
process would yield immediate benefits.  Trust is a more difficult
thing to quantify.
