No, I was replying to your specific question of:

"What would be such a next step?"[1]

Bug reporting does not "require[s] a form of social network" as the bug
was properly reported without one.  Rather to move the bug along the
triaging process usually requires other people to look at it and
indicate whether or not they also experience the bug.
