​I think this is a good response to a lot of requests. That said, I think
it is more appropriate for feature requests than for bugs.

There are some groups whom I try to motivate to report bugs (especially
students) who usually don't have the means​ to follow up on any of the
three options presented in this response.

I'm concerned that they would be intimidated and stop reporting when they
see a response like this. I'd rather see more bug reporting during the
feature freeze than less.

​Best wishes,
Anita​
