I understand that replying to every bug requires some extra effort and I don't necessarily want to make it a must. But a response like "I have seen your report. Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to take care of it. If you send a patch I will consider it." is a nice gesture to the reporter. I have started doing some l10n work about a month ago. Some of the bugs I filed have not seen any reaction from the maintainer. While that is not yet surprising I came across a number of l10n bugs providing translations that are half a year old or older. This is frustrating to the translator to see his work collecting dust in the BTS for such a long time. And those bugs are easy and straight forward to fix and don't require much thinking.
