Maybe also a message in the ChangeLog or this list that reminds people
how to file bugs:

http://wiki.macromates.com/Main/BugReporting
http://ticket.macromates.com/

The alpha release didn't mention any request for bugs. However, I
assume Allan and co wouldn't mind reports along the lines of "I tried
X but it did Y rather than Z then crashed". I'm not sure they are
looking for too many "I preferred the way TM1 did X" right now.
