I've reported bugs in a few projects. In my experience, the smaller the team behind the software, the more likely your bug will be fixed.
I think I've reported bugs to Bloomz (the awful communication app my school uses), jpmonette/feed (the node/typescript RSS feed generation library), and I think at one point I reported one to Newsblur, and they all got fixed.
This has been my experience as well.
I submitted a bug report on Things To Get Me (an Amazon wishlist alternative) on a holiday weekend, fully not expecting to hear anything until at least Monday. It wasn’t anything too major. Within the hour I not only had a response, but a change was pushed to prod after a little back and forth with the developer.
A couple years ago I signed up for write.as and the founder/ceo reached out to have video chat just to see how things were going or if there was anything I’d want to see in the future.
