I think for patches it's a common practice to acknowledge the contributor, but for reported bugs we (me at least) often thanks the person in the tracker, but not necessarily in the commit. If people don't mind commit logs to become a bit more verbose it would be a pleasure to mention for example: "fix for#[111111] Crash - reported by Mancandy" (and eventually one or two lines in the obdy of the log if it's worthy mentioning someone's specific effort).
As a side note, bug not reported through tracker tend to have their reporter mentioned. Maybe only for "tracking" reasons (no pun, really), or because when that happens it's usually someone you are more familiar with anyways. But the true is, how many people read commit logs? Shouldn't be better instead to compile a list of all the bug reported with bugs fixed prior to a release?
