 > If you looked at my other reports, you'd have seen advocating.
 Beside the point. A number of contributors focus on specific areas, so a)
 they wouldn't see your other tickets, and b) it's irrelevant if the point
 is that if you care about a ticket you'll give it the same attention you
 wont the committers to give it.

 >Those were improvements, this is an error. You advocate improvements
 ''(they're in my best interest)'' and you assume errors get checked and
 fixed ''(it's in everyone's best interest, especially yours)''.
 Actually, in an open source project, the only way you can count on
 something getting fixed is to fix it. The committers are not servants,
 they're leaders, and the work they do includes prioritizing which bugs are
 high priority and which ones aren't as important because they affect fewer
 people. Aside from security issues (which immediately generate an all-
 hands-on-deck response but should not be posted in Trac anyway, but
 reported to security at wordpress.org) and task (blessed) tickets (which
 leads have committed to themselves), this is an open development
 environment, and the assumption that "someone" will fix all reported bugs
 is incorrect. Bugs are fixed if/when individual people fix them. The best
 way to influence which things get priority attention is to contribute
 consistently good patches and earn trust and respect here. Insulting
 people who slog through hundreds of tickets per day doesn't help anyone.
