What might be changed more easily is to accept a report but impound it until the confirmation reply. Being able to spit out what one has to say while it is still fresh in the mind should make the email wait more tolerable. What do you think?
Sounds like a very good idea to me. It could still send out a notification to the relevant component maintainers, so that they can deal with the bug (e.g. open it up manually or drop it as spam) even if the reporter takes a day or two to respond to the confirmation e-mail.
