How do I configure bug reports for a larger community?

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.
