This is as opposed to the bug reports you can file with other smartphone makers? I'm not trying to be snarky (well, a little bit), but you simply can't file a bug about an iPhone. You can go to the Apple Discussion Forums and see threads that go on for pages and pages with no involvement from anyone from Apple at all. The only difference is that Apple releases one model at a time, so if there's a problem, everyone has it at once and it garners enough media attention to warrant a response. I have no idea how one would file bugs about Windows Phone 8 either. That Google makes their bug tracker visible doesn't mean they're doing any more or less than the other guys.
