The wiki was what David T suggested initially in the bug report. John didn't 
think a wiki to be a good place to park source files and I tend to agree.

As for the github suggestion: it *is* currently our de facto online 
repository. And a repository with benefits: all reports in there are at least 
guaranteed to compile...
The downside of this particular repo of course is it has limited write access 
and we're not inclined to change that soon.

Both options still depend on the user copying a source file from somewhere 
into a specific location on their PC and write a line of code in another file. 
It's all still manual.
