Something that helps here is distinguishing between bugs & features. As a maintainer of an open source project, I frequently have to say 'no' to features. Usually this takes the form of encouraging a plugin that implements the feature rather than adding it to the core library. Bug reports on the other hard, even if they're as simple as someone misunderstanding a feature, are worth taking. If it's a real issue you can fix it otherwise it might be an opportunity to improve documentation. My only requirement is a reproduce provided. I'm not going to spend lots of time hunting down an issue based on something vague.
