We could create a mailing list where these are simply dumped, and anyone 
who cares to work on these cases can register (and discuss) there. It 
will be an excellent opportunity to learn swear words in all languages 
if one is so inclined.

But I doubt the usefulness of this feature. If you're a greenhorn and 
someone shouts at you, you'll most likely just think "this project is 
shit, I'll move on" rather than "oh, this experienced user has just 
shouted abuse, I think I'll report him".

And if you are an experienced user yourself, then someone shouting abuse 
at you will probably make you discuss this on the mailing list, IRC, or 
at the next local OSM meeting, and you don't need the "report abuse" 
button either.

Bye
Frederik
