I'll echo eadler a bit here, but with a different emphasis.

What _I_ consider a trivial bug is based on my own past experiences
with FreeBSD.  Someone who is new to it and is submitting their first
bug may not see it as trivial.  We don't wish to discourage them.

Discouraging people from contributing is counterproductive.  We need
more contributors, not less.

I know for certain that people in the past have given up after submitting
PRs that were never answered.  While I know we don't have the manpower to
deal with all of them, that should at least be our ideal.
