Agreed. the parts you mention are not broken. Some of the parts you don't
mention are:

1."Won't fix" might mean will never fix, might almost mean "postponed" - no
way to tell the difference.
2. Can't tell if bugs are user generated so replies often not sent.
3. Database upgrades lose information.

I would suggest these parts are broken.

And in the spirit of a post from a while back:
*+1. I agree with everything I just said.*
