Your sense of entitlement is staggering.

I was convinced one of the first comments would be the one about entitlement. I avoided writing the original post to prevent the self-unfulfilling prophecy.

The point stands: he spent some time to work on this, with 5 more minutes he could have achieved a lot more: give trackability to the bug, give the "customer" a sense that the vendor cares. None of my former employers would ever dream ignoring a client like that, even if bugs would linger for 10 years.

I thought that Launchpad was supposed to streamline bug reporting and act as a staging area for reports upstream, and I also thought that distributions were supposed to add value, not take it away.

As for the "entitlement" jibe, I guess the only response to that kind of narrow-minded thinking is for everyone to not bother reporting bugs at all and to just use something else instead. Yes, users can withdraw value from the interaction, too.
