 |This is the wrong response.  The right response would have been:
 |	"Ok, now I know.  In the future I will try to provide a patch
 |	for the problems I find, since nobody would expect people who
 |	spend their spare-time on a free OS to be able to fix all the
 |	bugs by them selves."

Hmm.  IMO, that's the wrong response.  We shouldn't expect all folks that
file PRs to be developers, or even developers that want to (and have the
time to) dive into any and every area where "something strange" is
observed.

 |Unfortunately, it also clutters up the view and prevents more severe
 |problems from getting the attention the need.

With other bug tracking systems, that's what a priority field is useful for.
Ordering the bug presentation in a view.
