There are a lot of beginners who try to learn programming by using GH. They might not know how to make an example, or how to reproduce the bug by giving directions.
When I worked as a programmer, I had coworkers and other employees I worked with who couldn't tell me how to reproduce a bug, or give example code, and I had to train some other programmers in the language to help them learn more to work with a team. You can't just WONTFIC an issue, and yes it is harder to work that way.
You cannot block or ban people who are annoying or ignorant in a corporate environment. You have to find a way to help them out, by educating them, or just trying to fix the bug as best you can even if you can't reproduce it.
I made a debug version of the program that trapped for errors, and wrote them to a log file and displayed a custom error message so I can tell what part of the program it had the error in. You have to learn how to innovate and work with annoying and difficult people who don't even know they are annoying or difficult. Yeah it is stressful, but that is the difference between an open source project on Github, and working for an employer as an employee or contractor.
