I don't quite understand how http://ae.osmsurround.org/ fits into the 
bug-tracker idea. The amenity editor is an osm data editor that works 
directly on the osm database. It does not create a special type of 
amentiy bugs that need to be distributed.

I could see that it makes sense to be able to add bugs to the map while 
editing amenities but this is functionality which can easily be done 
with the current osb.
