Well, how are things to be improved if no proper bugs are filed?
Bug-filing is very important, and if accompanied by a patch, then its
premium. Some maintainers do not respond, yes, but many are happy to
solve the issue, and other users will benefit from this as well.

And if you encounter bugs in Ubuntu, you are going to switch to the
next distro? I don't mind you finding the distro which serves you
best, but IMHO returning proper bug reports, with patches if possible,
is the least people can do as a return for such a great free
plattform.
