I agree. Note that there are currently 67 voted bugs in bugzilla,
which have already been fixed.  7 of these have 5 or more votes.

Really, I think a bigger issue is getting bugs with patches closed.
There's about 100 open bugs with patches. I don't know what fraction
of them are good patches, but it's a large number.

I would find it extremely helpful to have a bugzilla keyword
"partial_patch" to mark those bugs with patches which are incomplete,
or otherwise have problems.
