No.

This item isn't about fixing bugs at all.

This item is about telling people how to fix N well known problems
with devices that need quirks.

Eg, if your new device sees a 'No Sync Supported' message, then do
XYZ.

If you see stalls in with these messages, do ABC.

If you see a stall with those messages, do DEF.

While it might be useful to have a bug-a-thon, without having this
sort of cheat sheet many of the bugs in gnats won't be resolvable.
