I've yet to see a bug tracker that doesn't make it trivial to identify
bugs that were marked as invalid (ie: not a real bug). The only
difference is that you actually have to mark them as such. Given the
fairly low volume of non-bugs that come in through the web form, I don't
think marking them will be a big issue (and as I mentioned previously,
it's something that doesn't have to be done by anyone who's a
committer). In fact, having such a system would probably save committers
time, because they could look only at bugs that had been confirmed as
valid by someone else. Right now, every time a non-bug gets filed dozens
of people end up reading the report before they hit delete.
