"So far as I'm aware the purpose of Launchpad is indeed to generate
buzz. Certainly if it's intended to be used to fix bugs then it's a
total failure."

"My biggest single annoyance with bug triage is people coming around
and asking if bugs are still valid when they haven't put any effort
into reproducing them themselves." (This is from a package maintainer,
not from a bug reporter.)
