While this is not exactly the place for discussing this, I agree with the
sentiment above.  After enormous amounts of time fighting bugs in LibreOffice
for years, I finally realized that I had better things to do.

While it's nice to be able to report bugs, it's infuriating that bug reviewers
invariably ignore the bug or claim it isn't a bug, and even if they do, the bug
is never fixed.

I even have looked at the code in case I might be able to fix something myself,
but there is no documentation I could find that would help me understand the
architecture of the code.
