Yes. But his experience has been that he reported things in Bugzilla and were ignored, eventually closed as "too old, install a newer distro release". So why bother, if it will be ignored as well?
If we want people to fill bugzillas, someone has to at least read them once.
Looks like I have to dig out some bugzilla statistics ;-)
Over the years, about half of the bugs get/got marked as fixed. The other half is still open or spread across various other resolutions (duplicate, worksforme, wontfix, noresponse etc.).
The latest statistics more or less confirms this - from the bugs reported in 2018 (for both Leap and Tumbleweed), 2450 of 5300 bugs are fixed (46%), 1200 (23%) are still open, and the remainder is spread across other resolutions.
So far, 4150 bugs were reported in 2019. It shouldn't be a surprise that more of them (1790 / 43%) are still open, but OTOH 1460 (35%) of them are already fixed. Given that this statistics even includes bugs reported today, that number isn't too bad.
I know that some bugs get closed as "out of support", and ideally all our developers and packagers would have enough time to avoid this. Nevertheless, the number of these bugs is quite small in comparison to the number of reported bugs. I can't provide exact numbers because "wontfix" also includes bugs that were "manually" marked wontfix for other reasons. In numbers, 430 of the 5300 bugs reported in 2018 and 800 of 4980 bugs from 2017 are marked wontfix - and not all of them were marked as "out of support".
To sum it up: not every bug gets fixed, but you roughly have a 50% chance when you report a bug. That's much better than the 0% chance when not reporting it!
OTOH, feel free not to report bugs - that increases the chances that _my_ bugreports get handled and fixed ;-))
BTW: You can get alll these statistics yourself using the bugzilla "Reports" page - use "Resolution" for one of the axis, and then filter as you want (for example with a date range).
Thanks for some facts, Christian.
