== Why I don't file bug reports very often

I just finished filing [[Fedora Core Bugzilla #217080
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217080]]. Between
doing research to see if this was already a solved or known problem,
gathering all the information, and actually writing everything down,
it probably took me around three hours. (And I already have a Red Hat
Bugzilla account and know how to use Bugzilla, or it would have taken
longer.)

This isn't particularly atypical; writing even decent bug reports is
simply a lot of work, much of it tedious and/or irritating. (And if you
don't do the work to write a decent bug report, usually you might as
well not bother, because no one is going to do anything much with it.)

The amount of raw work it takes to write a bug report is one of the
reasons I have strong feelings that *filing* bug reports had better be
as frictionless as possible. (Assuming that you want to get bug reports
to start with.)
