I think he means "talk to us to make sure your use cases are addressed".
Quick overview of what we want to do with this feature is:
- Introduce a flag for bugs which says they are "hardware bugs"
- For the bugs with that flag, when a user clicks "me too", we ask them if their HW profile is related to it
- For all the collected HW profiles, we will show what the common devices among them are

That's our rough first draft of the feature.
How does that sound?
