If you're leaving it to the other person to file the new bug, you could perhaps
leave it to them to resolve the issue as invalid. There's far less chance of a
real problem getting lost that way.

First, I'm choosing to spend my time to write up a bug report to improve D. If
you are interested in the success of D, that goal would be poorly served by
adding roadblocks to others attempting to improve it -- unless filtering out
erroneous bugs has already proven onerous. Has it? If so, I'll gladly volunteer
a couple hours a week toward verifying and reproducing bugs so that others who
are less attached to D can do less legwork up front.

Second, you're asking me to take hours of wall time, not a moment. It means I
have to make a newsgroup post, which is exactly as much work as filing a bug,
then remember to go back to the newsgroup after a few hours, then, if nobody's
responded, file a bug. That remembering to file a bug part is nontrivial; it
means I'll fail to report a decent fraction of issues I identify. (And if
someone responded on the newsgroup after I submitted an issue, you would likely
still be snippy at me, leaving me with a dilemma about how long to wait between
asking about a problem and filing the bug.)

Third, the main thrust of your newsgroup argument was that you found that an
issue had already been reported. I can very easily search bugzilla for the
string "json" and browse through the bugs that have already been reported. (And
I did, because it's the right thing to do.) Your example was for something
that's somewhat harder to search for. So your example was poor.

Fourth, I frequently see Andrei and Walter telling people to file bugs for
issues rather than reporting them to the newsgroup. I'm going with their
suggestions rather than yours.
