Imho, thats a wrong assumption by the developers. I've seen quite a few
cases where bug reports lie around for months, with mupltiple users
describing the bug, but no hint that a developer has even realized the
existance of the bug. I think it's a normal reaction to think "hmm,
maybe something went wrong with the bug report, I should ask someone
about that".

Just to be clear, I don't want to blame the developers for not working
on that bug report. I know that there are too many bug reports and too
few developers. But please, see that from a bug reporters point of view,
a bug, which lies around months, state unconfirmed and no developer in
sight, might look like it just got lost. (Others might just feel
ignored, which is even worse)
