Will?  Might.

I disagree.  A reporter should only be asked to bisect (using git or
other tools) /if/ a developer determined that bisection may speed up the
debugging process or is the only remaining option to make progress with
a bug.

It would be wrong to steal a reporter's valuable time by asking for
bisection before anybody familiar with the matter even had a first look
at the report.

Remember:
  - Not all bugs can be economically narrowed down by bisection.
  - Bisection requires skills, rigor, and time.
  - Alas there are considerable sections in our kernel history which
    are not bisectable.
