"You have more work to read the mail from the user, then giving him your  
permission" ...  Usually when a report is reasonably complete, there is no  
action required from the user.

The problem with your assumption is that "you" is a single person.  It  
isn't.  we have a team specializing on entering and categorizing bug  
reports who do mostly nothing else.  That means that a report entered by  
them will then be given the proper attention by developers (of which we  
have fewer) without wasting their time.

In fact, "bug report duty" is scheduled on a daily basis, so there really  
is only _one_ person busy with a bug report in addition to the submitter  
until it is complete and useful.

Now of course you consider your own bugs important enough to warrant the  
attention of all developers immediately, including non-Windows developers.   
But if everybody does it like that, less work gets accomplished all in  
all.  For that reason, we have a division of labor that has been tested and  
honed over years.  The instructions are consistent with that division of  
labor.

Now you consider yourself better qualified to judge how we should be  
running things than those who have been running them for years.  It is  
unlikely that you are correct in this estimate if you have not even  
bothered looking how and why we are doing things: that only has a  
reasonable chance of being better when you base it on the assumption that  
everybody except yourself is an idiot.

It is an assumption easy to make for technically skilled people, but in a  
setting where every other involved person is technically skilled as well as  
experienced with his task, it is not necessarily uncontestable.
