No, it's because this is how I organize my work. I cannot do
everything immediately; sometimes there are blocking bugs which impede
doing the work right away, and sometimes there are other problems that
arise in my life.
I do not regard bug reports as an imposition, I regard them as a great
help. I do not require pre-bug bug reports, where people report bugs
before they report bugs, and then only report the bug if the
already-reported bug isn't fixed without the report.
Much simpler to adopt the strategy that when you see a bug, and you
want it fixed, report it. That's the way to get it on my radar.
That's the documented normal way. It's not bureaucracy, it's simple
record keeping.
