Right, but reporting is not enough, fixing is even more important.
The problem is that people start to work on new features right after feature freeze, instead of fixing bugs.

Just have a look at the open bugs list or even worse, the unmerged bugfix list in Gerrit, which contains lots of code which improves TYPO3, but the patches are just not merged.

Stop thinking of new features, concentrate on reducing bugs only.
My opinion: A patch that is pending for 2 weeks in Gerrit is either a complete mess or simply ignored.
Simple solution: Abandon the complete mess and merge the ignored ones.

Just my cents
