Let's agree to disagree. A slightly different point: I was a new user not so long ago. The major issue for me was whether to send a report at all. Most times I'd be thinking that I fucked up myself (and in many cases I did). In that case my first action would be to ask in questions@, usually after several days of trying to figure out what I have done wrong. Only after being advised in questions@ that it might be a real issue and that I should submit a PR for it, would I do it. In other words, as a new user I thought of sending a PR as a last resort, because I doubted myself a lot more than the stability of FreeBSD and the expertise of the team. The actual tools to submit a PR were never an obstacle.
