That's what the AppDB is for, and you can add bug links there.

I think you don't understand how the process works.

Wine developers don't usually follow whole applications, they tend to specialize in specific areas of the code, and work on bugs that fall in their area of expertise. A single application may be affected by multiple bugs in completely unrelated parts of the code, while a single bug may affect multiple apps. Lumping together unrelated bugs into one big "this app doesn't work right" bug while requiring separate reports for each app affected by the same bug would not be helpful to the people who actually fix bugs.
