*Some* people aren't interested in that. Better to offer an additional 
information section/page.

This is because he couldn't find consensus with Canonical about 
intellectual property, which is completely unrelated to this discussion. 
Other people left because of irritation about technical issues like 
systemd or perhaps even things like Mir, which are now, thankfully 
(IMHO), abandoned. All of this is again unrelated. These are not the 
reasons why people aren't submitting bug reports. Well, it is for some, 
but they've already left the community, so why worry about them? And 
besides, their problems relate to things other than the wiki page.

Regardless of your feelings, the entire community is based on consensus. 
It's baked into the Code of Conduct. If you're impatient on how long 
that process takes (often a long time), I think it might be better to 
find a place where every commit is automatically accepted, although I 
think you'll have a hard time finding that place.
