While bug reports are certainly important input, lame and stupid bug
reports are not.

What is lame and stupid to us may not be lame and stupid to the average
user. Just because you find no value in a particular report (or set of
reports) does not mean that necessarily all of the bug reports submitted
by a user are necessarily bad.

Since tags don't sort, they segregate, you just choose based on the
first one that matches, so it's no real trouble. [The debbugs example
with my user is one way you can do things.]

The advantage is it works now, works with methods that are known to
work, and doesn't require a whole set of new control methods to
interact with the field.

Yes. Never mind the old bugs then. Just try to reproduce new bugs as
they come in, before they become old bugs.

It doesn't matter if I do or not. Someone who is trying to contribute
shouldn't be told to piss off, or ridiculed on -devel. Doing that will
drive away not only that contributor, but any potential contributors
that are friends with them.
