I appreciate the bug reports, believe me.
The issue is which of the limited developer resources get put onto

which bugs.
A developer who does this for fun is going to prioritize to things

that are pleasant and interesting to work on, and also a good

effective use of their time.
So people prioritize.
Therefore, my point is, the net result is that user have a direct

influence on which bugs get worked on with the highest priority and

thus get fixed faster.  And those are the ones that have the most

information available, and in particular bisec results when

appropriate.
