That's partly true. But we don't need people to fix all bugs by themselves,
otherwise we might take more time trying to fix their own fixes. We most of
all need them to *work* on bugs, which is not the same. Actively
participating to tests and bug hunting is a very important activity. Let's
get the original code author propose a fix once the bug is pointed to.
