It isn't that easy as you make it sound (especially for the kernel).
It can up to need a git bisect but that requires being able to
reproduce said bug (which might require hardware that the maintainer
does not have).


that's one of the many reasons testers' work should not just be discarded. they have a lot of hardware and a lot of time the developers can not possibly have. also they are more significant as average users since they are not special persons working for special companies. i assumed here that the average user is important, at least as important as a(ny) company.
