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.
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.
