We really don't have a problem with not getting enough bug 
reports. Really!

Many people are willing to spend the 2 minutes to create an 
account and post the bug in bugzilla so it can be tracked.
This is the only way that we can make sure that bug reports
aren't lost. Mailing lists are not bug tracking databases.

Many people are also willing to provide detailed reproduction
instructions and even test cases for their bug reports.
I'm not about spend two days fooling around with GtkToolbar
and GtkImageMenuItem because someone said there was a bug
somewhere in them.

These people get their bugs fixed sooner. Sorry, that's how
it works.

I spent 30 minutes looking into 2) and _responded_ on 
this mailing list reporting the results of my investigation
and didn't get even get a mail reply from you!
