You know what it is? Reporting bugs into a formal bug system feels like a police interrogation. You have to report every detail you can think of, you get hassled if you didn't report something properly, and most of the time the problem doesn't get addressed to your satisfaction. It is a bit of a mystery why bug reporting is so much trouble when the system is supposedly supposed to be for volunteers to help developers. You would probably want to help make the experience as pleasant as possible for the volunteers, no?

So, I'll report big, terrible bugs if someone hasn't already done it. But if I can work around the problem (and when I log in to maemo.org, I can work around it by logging in and then manually changing the "http://" to "https://") I'm not going to drag my lazy body over that high threshold. If nobody else is reporting it, it is either something I'm doing wrong or something that is limited to a small subset of people.

And feature requests are the same. Sure, I miss the bigger avatars. But do I miss it enough to make a bug report and then receive endless chatter in my inbox from people arguing about whether this is a valid bug, what status the bug should be set to, or whether the bug should be marked "wontfix" or left as "super-low priority"?

No.
