If someone can write a paragraph on their blog or this list
complaining about a problem, then yes, they have the time to open an
issue on the bug tracker.

This is the price of using open source software: you give back. You
don't get to say "I don't have the time for this, *someone else* fix
it". Who do you expect to give up *their* time to solve *your* issues?

Ranting on public forums is nothing but posturing at best, and at
worst an attempt to blackmail-by-shame people into doing something for
you. Same goes for calls for "the community" to "fix" things.
