So, "normal" people are those who can't be bothered to report the
issue, and propose an entry (or a fix)?

I think that extra layer does help so that a core dev can determine if
the entry actually deserves inclusion. Reporting the issue can at
least lead to that discussion. The wiki does not have that advantage
(other than that core devs have the option of  subscribing to the
page).
