A couple of times I’ve come across issues in OSS and gone to raise a bug report while digging through the code to see if I can fix it or propose a solution. But when I opened the issue and saw it required me to write a novel I’ve just closed it, worked around or patched it and moved on. It’s too much of a hassle.

On the other hand, there are many cases like race conditions that can be very hard to reproduce and sometimes you can get enough context from stack traces/logs/debug info to figure out and fix the problem anyway.
