Question: Field for related bugs #45

Description

@hodgesds

    Hi, sorry for the late reply, this issue was not on my radar. Do you think a warning note on the helper page would good enough? I am all for documenting things like this, but like you said, there is no machine parse-able data source for these sorts of bugs that I know of. So documenting such bugs is likely to be on case by case basis.
