But by actually submitting a bug report in the first place, they're
already helping. The maintainer can either fix it or open a dialogue
up with the submitter if more information is needed.
The fact is -- if we require research beforehand, there will be FAR
fewer reports. I for one will not submit any (or very few at least)
bug reports if this happens. This will end up hurting Debian
seriously.
