Yep, there are not that many savvy Linux users out there. Filing a good
bug report takes a lot of experience to be honest.

And most bugs reports in Bugzilla are semi-automatically closed (by me)
because they are about amdgpu and i915 which have their own bug
trackers. Without such reports the volume of bug reports is basically
halved.
