Some time ago, in our company, they forced us to make entries in the bug 
tracker even for our own bugs, which we found by ourselves. At first I 
thought this is silly, too. But now, I have changed my mind. It is more 
work for the developers (however, compared to reproducing, fixing, 
debugging and testing, it's not much), but it greatly helps the project, 
because issues can be better tracked. Other people (also other devs) 
find this information in the bug tracker very useful and it also helps 
for the release notes.
