happy if users contributed a tiny bit more and added comments to their
tickets and responded to NEEDINFO queries and gave feedback on Test
Updates. ABRT has lowered the hurdle so much that people dump generated
reports into bugzilla but otherwise they appear like /dev/null and only
show rarely that they care about a package.
Requests to report the crash upstream usually also fall on deaf ears (when
all they'd really need to do is copy&paste the generated text and a link to
the attached backtrace into the upstream bug tracker).
Without some mechanism to either make ABRT file bugs directly upstream or
automatically forward them (in a way which keeps the reporter in the loop,
in the hope that they might actually care!), it's basically useless.
There's no way I can fix the dozens of crashes in Gnash myself.
