I often got the feeling that the word of a developer does not
count as much as the word of a user. For example when I see a
potential bug I want to fix it before others can suffer from it
(no matter if that would only affect 1 of 10000 users). But when I
come up with such an issue I often hear that it is only on my
system and I should rather fix it that changing LyX. First if we
get the first 3 user complaints the problem is approved as real.
That is not fair. As a maintainer one of course tries to fix all
potential issues before they become public.
Just for the record, please look at:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/milestone/2.1.0?by=reporter.
This page shows the bugs that were fixed for LyX 2.1.0 and who
reported them. I will give you the top 5 reporters of whom we fixed
the most bugs:
1. uwestoehr 61
2. walkmanyi 12
3. sanda 11
4. landroni 10
5. baum 9
I don't think we structurally ignore your bug reports.
And I will add that I *APPLAUD* Uwe for reporting so many bugs. (Yea,
Uwe!!) The work he does on the documentation not only helps our users,
but it helps the development of LyX, too. That work exercises a lot of
LyX's capabilites, and it uncovers a lot of bugs that otherwise would
make it out into the wild. Indeed, I'd suggest that Uwe is probably
*the* main tester of the development branch.
