The issue is that there is no one triaging incoming bugs, so the bug
tracker has turned into a black hole for users.  I'm saying, don't
make it public if there's no system for handling bugs from users. It's
a waste of time and source of aggravation for everyone involved.

The bug I mentioned:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/402833

already has a fix in the comments. It is not an upstream bug, so it
won't go away on it's own. So, it just needs some developer with SVN
access to apply the fix... yet it hasn't even been looked at after
sitting in the tracker for months.
