Not everyone is a non-tech guy, but even most tech-savy persons are not intrested in everything. If I as tech guy send you a bug report, that is often mostly altruistic: The fix will not enter the current stable, so it will be a long time before it helps me, if it helps at all because I already know the work-around. > Lengthy > discussions are rare, people mailing [email protected] believing it will > reach submitters too are much more common.

I can say that I am personally often scared with other bug reporting utilities. I will for example think twice before ever again submitting bugs to some bugzilla. It has those little checkboxes with what you want to get mail, but no description what causes what so I end up getting mails about status changes telling me nothing and of developers changing their email addresses.
