To be clear no bugs will be rejected, but the reality is that at least as far as Red Hat engineers are concerned most of their time is spent on RHEL bugs. The remaining time is then split between upstream feature development, upstream bug reports, fedora maintenance work and fedora bug reports. Not surprisingly the amount of time available for each task tend to be very limited. Which means developers tend to go into a mode of hard prioritization, using tools like retrace to pick important crashers affecting a lot of people and also skip over bugs on 'weird' systems if it is not obvious on first glance what the issue is, simply because they don't want to risk spending the limited time they have available on those Fedora bugs that have a higher likelihood to be an user error. Ideally of course all bugs should be looked at and investigated, but in terms of time available that is simply not realistic. Of course the Fedora community can and are helping here, both in terms of helping with triaging, but of course also in terms of actually fixing bugs. Individual contributors will of course have their own motivations for what issues they get involved with or not.
