And his bug reports have gotten better and better over the years.  He
still files all upstream bugs with Debian, but I can't throw stones there;
I tend to do the same thing myself, since Debian has such a nice and
consistent bug reporting interface and upstream's usually... isn't.  :)

He files lots and lots of minor/wishlist bugs, but that isn't abuse.  He's
one of the few people who regularly files bugs when he finds unclear or
confusing documentation, and while that results in a lot of small bugs
(and a lot of bugs that are really upstream bugs), I think that's also a
valuable *type* of bug that frequently doesn't get enough attention.
