Well, how about giving maintainers the power to opt out from having bugreports 
about their packages? Come on, we can't be serious discussing this yet again. 
My POV is that the reporter is obliged to do that in the same way the 
maintainer is obliged to take care of his bugreports.  Yes I know that there 
are bugs that haven't been looked at all but there are also bugs that contain 
no useful information. 
Let's face the truth - buts gets fixed when both the maintainer and the 
reporter care about it. And if neither the maintainer nor the reporter care to 
take a look, reproduce and move the bug to newer version there is no point in 
keeping it open - it will never get fixed because both supposed to be 
interested parties don't care.
