I'm not sure I agree with that one, at least not fully. It's certainly
true that you shouldn't expect anybody to do anything about a bug unless
you open an issue.
On the other hand, I often find it useful to discuss things that I
believe are bugs on c.l.p first. Sometimes people will explain to me
that I'm just doing it wrong. Sometimes the discussion will end up
with, "Yeah, that's a bug". In either case, it serves as a good initial
filter for whether I should file a bug or not, and the discussion is
often educational.
