True, and I never stated anything else.

Given the question I explicitly responded to, all I said is to not even
try to use a mailing list for "filing bugs". They will be forgotten,
believe me. I am dealing with this for years...

Again, a mailing list sure is a proper place to mention issues and see
if these issues can be confirmed by others or if there are known fixes
or at least workarounds. However, it is not suited to "report bugs", as
the original question stated.

I fail to see how lack of human resources can be held for evidence that
the developers and volunteer community members ignore or otherwise not
admit a bug. In fact, I am trying to not take this personally.

Feel free to join the bugsquad, to see what we actually got to deal
with...
