It has to depend on what package you're writing a bug report on.  I've
reported several bugs, and just about all of them got resolved.  Some
very quickly.  I was lucky that in most cases I could come up with some
useful background information to go along with the bug (e.g. so-and-so
crashed while starting because it couldn't find "some" file).  But if
you can't do that sort of thing, it makes it hard for another person to
rectify a fault, particularly if it works fine for them.
