Devil's advocate: Why should you expect volunteers to do things that are out of their speciality / experience just because someone reported a bug.
One of the most depressing things about being a volunteer is when you have expended time and effort only to be told that you've done it wrong or could/should do a much better job. Would it really be better if no one did this voluntary work, so that there was no one to blame?
