So a guy has a couple of bug reporting issues. Well, him and his friend. The way he states it, he makes it out to be the way the handle all issues - but I've had the opposite experience with fairly quick and helpful responses.

I do think he has a point that there was a lack of communication regarding the one f-spot bug, but he should have brought it up on a mailing list where there is a larger number of ears in order to address it. Sometimes just creating a bug entry isn't enough - they get 100s of these day, if not 1000s. Groups of people read mailing lists. Individuals check bugs.
