"If the reporter hasn't fulfilled these requirements, the bug should
be marked ASSIGNED to bug-wranglers, and a full build log should be
requested from the reporter."[1]
I've taken to alternatively closing bugs as NEEDINFO lately, e.g. when
there is a grave lack of (legible) information, or when output printed
by the bug reporter suggests attaching specific files and this isn't
done in a timely manner, simply to encourage _reading_ the output
instead of simply copy/pasting it.

You usually get a couple of minutes to hours before any wrangling
happens.
