Why should anyone choose to work through Sardonix ? I'm not being flippant, I seriously wonder what they imagine they add to the process.

This year I've discovered around 5 bugs in free software. Two of them I sent patches for (both are now fixed, one through my patch, one was fixed in a different way), the 3 others I reported in the apropriate bugzilla-system, and 1 of those are also now fixed. The two remaining open ones are minor cosmetic bugs in kmail. (failing to redraw certain elements in certain cases)

But I never used Sardonix for anything. Why should I ? Why should anyone ? What do we need them for ?

I don't think I'm alone in contributing to fixing bugs in Free Software, yet in all honesty unable to see the point of projects like Sardonix.
