To use some of Mark's words: I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Likely, this can be automated.  Put a checkmark "This is a  
workaround" to bug report postings and some daemon can collect those  
to display them on the help page (and making them more accessible to  
Google). At worst, a triager would have to cut&paste partial  
workarounds or descriptions hosted elsewhere into a single post, so  
the additional burden should be manageable.

Excellent idea, Marco.
