As a user the best thing you can do to make me report bugs is to show that you are actually going to fix reported bugs. Taking my time to gather information that will effectively end up in /dev/null is the opposite of fun.

Also important is to let me make sure I don't waste time reporting something that is already a known issue.

The best way to do this is to have a public bug tracker.

Given these preconditions acceptable effort only depends on how invested I am in the product.
