If "users" equals "developers" it makes some sense. I do not expect
that end users would be willing to create XML files and send
them to developers. Even for developers I think that they can
share 'internally known' bugs as e.g. usertasks. There is already
category field in user task. You just need to add dependency
relationship and keywords to usertasks and you are almost done.

Are not you addressing here very specifics use case that is covered
by more generic use case?

In other words I prefer usertasks improvements over creating
almost parallel structures in bugs module that is primarily
focused on integration with existing server based issue tracking
systems.

  What do you think?
