Old chestnut:

Parent article: Development issues part 2: Bug tracking

"All bugs are shallow, given enough eyes."  As you point out with the SCSI bug, it isn't
assigning a bug number, or identifying a problem, but getting more eyes interested in the
problem, that fixes things.  F/OSS relies on people scratching itches, and bug repair relies
on making enough people itch.
