I wasn't a big fan of it either (despite proposing it and doing it). But look
at it from the project's standpoint -- volunteer based (and not exactly a big
team), high code churn rate (esp 1-2 years ago), high hardware
death(/replacement) rate, large variety of hardware, 400+ bugs deep, of which
200 are from more than 2 years without an update. So I didn't see a better way
of getting a handle on the situation. Of the 200+ bugs I closed, about 10 have
gotten follow-up comments of any sort (either that it's been fixed/hardware
gone/still a problem). I'm individually pinging newer bugs, and I'm not having
a great response rate either (but better).

Besides, you always have the option of re-opening the same bug and providing
updated information. As a bug filer, I think it's reasonable to expect you to
be the main tester (at least with nouveau).
