I can only speak for myself: If I see a Squid3 bug here, I will most
likely forget about it. If there is a Squid3 bug in bugzilla, and it is
relevant to the projects I work on, I will either fix it or ask somebody
to fix it, eventually. Relevant bugzilla bugs bug me until they are
gone :-).

My filter files bugzilla and squid-dev emails together, so there is no
difference as far as "getting noticed" is concerned. I am sure it is
different for other developers though.

Thanks again for reporting this and many other bugs!

Alex.
