I'm frustrated entering bugs into bugzillas. Its a 15 minute process logging in, searching to see if its already entered, filling everything in, etc. Bugzilla needs a template that users can prefill for various bugs to speed things up.
Yes - reporting bugs can be frustrating and bugzilla is not (always) a very userfriendly piece of software.
Especially KDE bugzilla is not userfriendly :(
And half the time it doesn't get looked at for weeks and by that time the page isn't up anymore.
That is how free software works. The best (browser)-bugreports are those where the bugs are already isolated with the test-case attached to the bug and not buried in 200k of html.
Well defined bugs will increase the probablility of a quick fix tremendously.
I got upset with Konqueror a couple years ago and did a blitz of entering bug reports for web pages that didn't work. The results were pretty dismal. I gave up.
Maybe spending some time on bug-triage of konqueror-bugs would be a good way to help out for you then?
Yes - sometimes bugs rot in $bugtracker until they're no longer relevant but that is the price you pay for free software.
