Not sure what you mean by 'bug-filter', but I would absolutely volunteer
to help in triaging (confirming it is a real bug/document formatting
problem, making sure it isn't a known issue, etc) end user bug reports
and problem documents.

1. Making it simple for end users to report bugs means more bug reports
will be made, and

2. Providing a way for non-developers to assist in triaging said bug
reports means those bug reports will be filtered/confirmed before being
reported to developers, so less developer time will be wasted
non-developers can make meaningful contributions to the process.
