Second, we'd like new bug reporters to not be able to use the 'CVS/GIT' version choice, but to instead be encouraged to report the current version. (wine --version reports something that is easy to match up to the choices).
I'm strongly against this. There are number of bug reporters who use git and update it every day. What should they use for their bug reports? IMHO their reports are much more valuable and allows developers to catch bugs early on before they get into the release.
The version field should be 'the earliest known version in which the bug exists.' If they're keeping up with git, the fact that the bug is still open and not resolved means the bug still exists in git. The use of the version field is not necessary for this functionality.
The thing is, that version does not exist yet. And the prior version doesn't have said bug.
