>People who look for, find, and comment in bug reports are
disproportionately those who notice and are annoyed by software's
current behavior. People who don't notice, don't care about, or agree
with, current behavior don't go looking for bug reports about it.

I strongly disagree.

You aren't taking into account people who notice and are annoyed, but
don't know anything about bug reports--or even what to call "the
annoying bubble thingies that won't ever go away".

Before discovering launchpad, or the forums, or making an account,
they'll get frustrated, give up and think this, Ubuntu, and/or Linux are
[insert expletive here]--and use something else.
