Hello,

Would you prefer one bug per game, or one bug per major version of safedisc, or
...?

Per major version e.g.:

SafeDisc v1, v2, v3, v4
SecuROM v3, v4, v5, v7
(some versions like SafeDisc v4 and SecuROM v7 might be worth to be split
further due to different feature sets)
...

Don't just create them as placeholder, only on demand.

People should test games using recent Wine versions, figuring out _exact_ copy
protection version (gathered using various signature/CD Protection scanners or
info from forums).
If the issue is related to copy protection, add the game to that specific major
version bug, stating exact Wine version and if possible compiler version used
to create Wine.

Some bugs/crash reports are not related to copy protection at all and get
lost/overlooked due to this metabug noise.

Regards
