I think a stacktrace alone is also valuable, especially if you start
counting duplicates. The old error reporting infra used to aggregate such
duplicates.

People also won't answer the same day for a follow-up. Because they might
be busy. But also because they might have lost interest in that
issue/NetBeans. Ideally they should have gotten a reply the same day, while
the issue was fresh in their mind.

In the end I think having a public issue tracker but providing no quality
handling of user reports is just bad marketing. I know for sure I will
*never* report a bug to a Gnome project. We don't want people to think the
same of Apache NetBeans. If we care about follow up just tell people to
report issue on dev@.
