This is a reasonable request as long as the person reporting is prepared to accept a simple "report noted" response.

The problem for PG is that once the "bug" has been noted many people will expect more than that. I think it would be unreasonable to expect a considered response on every report or for PG to keep track of when or if the alleged bug will or has been addressed. Expecting PG to keep track of and report the status of every alleged bug for reporting purposes could take a lot of effort.

If I have a bug that is a real problem for me I find it better to start an email thread directly with tech support.
