It surely made sense at the time, but now it's just adding to the triaging work that we don't have resources to do. It means I have to add a comment in the ticket to try to get a comment from the owner, block on it to triage and perhaps never get it because the person doesn't see my comment, or doesn't care anymore.<br>
<br>If we want bug triaging to be manageable given our resources and the lack of help from non developers, we *must* reduce the work involved. Being a public resource I'd argue in general writing non understandable bugs is bad practice. When you don't have resources to triage even worst. <br>
