Description:        Submitted bug reports not showing up in a timely manner
(or at all)
Details:

Bug reports from users who are non-subscribers to pgsql-bugs, or who use a
different email address when filling in the bug report form, are not being
processed in a reliable or timely manner.

To pick a recent case, bug #5085 was submitted by an IRC user (at my
suggestion) at 2009-09-28 22:12 +0000, or a bit over 22 hours ago as I write
this; it has yet to appear. This isn't an isolated case; I regularly refer
IRC users with bug reports to the reporting form, and I estimate that more
than one-third of those reports never show up.
