There is a reasonable compromise solution that can help the majority of
those rediscovering bugs, but costs a little time for the person(s)
reviewing the bugs as they get into the system on Apple's side...
Rather than open up the entire bug database and allow rampant searching
by any developer it might work as well to maintain a separate FFB
(Frequently Found Bugs) list that contains (at least) the reproducible
cases so it can be searched. No information about the originator of
the bug, company, etc. would be displayed.
That seems like a very reasonable compromise.
*snips
NDA bugs can be excluded or scrubbed for public viewing. Either way
the core problem is addressed without violating the security of the
full bug database. The bug need not be moved into this FFB list until
it is officially confirmed to exist and/or duplicates are logged
against it.
This, of course, means more work for someone at Apple, but the cost of
lost productivity (rediscovering existing bugs) in the active developer
community is pretty high in comparison.
I wouldn't imagine that the additional work would be that great. In
fact, I imagine it would be on a par with the wasted work that Apple
are already expending in wading through the reproduced bugs that we're
all frantically filing :)
