Sure, that can be done.
My point wasn't really as much about the difficulty of searching for previous reports as it was about the difficulty of knowing whether a bug report has been taken on board or not. I realize that not every single post can be replied to, but there's a considerable distance between "every single one" and "none at all".
As for the merits of one monster thread or many, one argument in favor of the many is that it would make it easier for subsequent posters to comment/add information to earlier reports.
