I don't really have so big view. The existing code must be studied
always when creating new code. A good IDE with its code browsing and
other features is important then, it works as an extension of the
brains.

Do you have problems now creating bug reports and patches? What kind
of problems?
I don't know how, and why, should patching be integrated in IDE. A
patch is easy to make with "svn diff" for example. The difficult part
is actually creating high quality code for a big project of over 1 000
000 LOC. There is no simple trick to make that easy.

Integrating bug reporting into IDE would have benefits if the IDE can
trap an exception and include details of it in the report, together
with info about the environment, and send it (semi-)automatically
somewhere.
Until that is implemented, the current issue tracker works very well IMO.
