Why you did it doesn't matter. What matters is you did it and contributed it. 
Also, just because it wasn't reported before doesn't mean it wasn't happening to 
people. The vast majority will see a bug, and just dump the compiler and move to 
something else.

Me, for example, I very very rarely bother to report a bug in a product I use. 
The reason isn't because I am lazy (although I am). It's because companies make 
it hard to report a bug. If they want to act like they're doing me a favor by 
accepting a bug report, then I won't bother.
