As noted in other replies timely testing. It is a lot easier to be successful 
getting something fixed if breakage is reported very shortly after the change 
that broke it.

Finding the change that broke it yourself (say using git bisect) is also 
helpful as it points developers at exactly where the problem is in most 
cases. (Saving them time that can be used to consider how to fix the problem.)

Being able to supply patches for fixes is even more valuable.
