I agree with that. Normally if I intend to fix it later, I just assign it to 
myself right away.

Hi,

I'd like to ask that issues reported by PMC members and core developers
get less strict reviews.
When I find an issue that's rather complex I usually describe
how to reproduce it, but I lack the time to write sample projects, at
least when reporting. When i get around to it I reproduce the issue and fix
it in svn - I normally don't attach tests since I can commit in core, and i 
think
that goes for more developers.

Anyway, the incomplete resolution is fine, but closing them will make them 
rather hard to find back. Maybe we could just assign these issues to the
reporters instead, status to 'feedback' or 'incomplete', 'on hold' or whatever.

In the future I'll try to attach the tests as I create the issue, though that'll
take me 30 mins more and when I'm in time pressure I feel it's better to report
the issue so it doesn't slip my mind, than to not do it at all because of the 
high
overhead.

wdyt?
