If all one does with the bugs is collecting them, hoping upstream will fix
them (for which one does not even have the manpower to check oneself)
or the submitters lose interest, then the current system is of course
not favourable.
Otherwise most packages have some crowd of people following the package
or even only specific bugs. Then additional user input not reaching them
is losing valuate chances for additional information.
