I don't think it's a bad idea running on top of what's already going on here. It doesn't have to be THE exclusive method of filtering information between us and the developers.
It's really up to the developers if they think it will help as an efficient way to pare away all the "thanks Luthier take the weekend off" type of useless replies but honestly I think they have a pretty good grip of what's not working yet to keep them busy for now.
After the major stuff has been taken care of over the next month it would probably be a pretty useful system running parallel to what's going on now if for nothing other than having a closed thread that collates all the reported bugs lost in the din of poorly titled threads and replies 8 pages deep with useful bug reports that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Again, it doesn't have to be the exclusive way to get heard since the devs can pore over the threads we have now, and the idea that the 'council' is some uber l337 group is hardly the idea Ham is going for.
