Sure, that happens sadly. ;( 

However, with a bug report (even if it's closed or not acted on): 

* If the package gets taken over by someone else, they can see the
  problem and look to fixing it. 

* Other interested parties can see the bug and add their data to it,
  note that it's still a problem, add workarounds, propose patches. 

* There's a solid record of the issue/reports. "look at bug 1234" is
  much better than "read 10,000 posts on the users list around
  june/july and try and find the actual bug report in the off topic
  stuff" 

* Even just adding yourself to the bug report can indicate that the
  problem is more widespread than the one user. 

Anyhow, if you don't want to file or add info to bugs, that's your
decision.
