I had a lot of complaints from our reporters about that -- "I have reported this already, why you guys are so much talking about cooperation, and you are not able to resolve it among yourself." I know there are some reasons, but considering that bug reporters are our most valuable asset (which I believe firmly) we should try most to treat them well. Remember, we are not making them any favor that they have to file a bug against the software we have provided them. Especially considering that there ARE possible scenarios how to do it -- and the rest is (IMHO, IAAL, IANAP, etc.) just not that complicated coding.
