On my side I think precise bug reports are _extremely_ important. For precise I especially mean providing a clear recipe to reproduce it starting from scratch. Precise bug reports saves me a lot of time and greatly help improving the usability of the branch for all users. Needless to say suggestions and/or patches are greatly appretiated too.
