Bug#344831: additional info

[Justin Pryzby]

I would also like to add the suggestion that each bug report might
have a patch sent to it by the maintainer, whenever thats appropriate.
This allows submitters to test that the patch actually resolves the
problem, and let the maintainer know if it does or does not.  It is
also nice if the maintainer compilies an unofficial package, and makes
a copy available from, for example, people.d.o, which allows for easy
testing by even novice users.

I suppose there should also be mention of MIA submitters :)

Something like:

  If submitters cannot be contacted within a reasonable time, or are
  otherwise unable to test whether the problem is solved, then the bug
  can be closed or left opened depending on preference the of the
  maintainer.  If someone experiences the problem in the future, the
  information in the bug can be referenced.
