I know there's a smiley, but for what it's worth, it's important to realize
that in most cases, the questions asked on gnattracker will receive
a simple answer and/or work around relatively rapidly, so this is definitely
an added value of being part of the GAP program.

Very few reports are actually labelled as bugs in pratice (which seems
to be the category you have in mind above).

In this specific case, to me there's no bug, and I'll be happy to give
the reporter some more info and explanations if a ticket with more
details/source code is opened.

Of course, we cannot force people to take advantage of this facility if
they do not want to :-)
