But what if the reporter died?  Would a bug cease to exist just because its reporter did?  "If a tree falls in the forest..."

I've submitted valid bugs that took several months for their maintainers to even look at, sometimes years.  Or sometimes the bug sits there for a while, then the maintainer quits, and a new maintainer comes on and fixes it.

Note to Maximilian Attems:  where should this be discussed?  I figure if somebody emails me a "me too" about an off-topic idea that seems dubious, it's fair to reply.  By which reasoning the first poster would be at fault for posting off-topic, not me.  OTOH, one might argue that nobody should post such messages, regardless of the cause, and each additional reply just compounds the irrelevence.
