Imho, thats a wrong assumption by the developers. I've seen quite a few cases where bug reports lie around for months, with mupltiple users describing the bug, but no hint that a developer has even realized the existance of the bug. I think it's a normal reaction to think "hmm, maybe something went wrong with the bug report, I should ask someone about that". Just to be clear, I don't want to blame the developers for not working on that bug report. I know that there are too many bug reports and too few developers. But please, see that from a bug reporters point of view, a bug, which lies around months, state unconfirmed and no developer in sight, might look like it just got lost.
