The issue is which of the limited developer resources get put onto which bugs. A developer who does this for fun is going to prioritize to things that are pleasant and interesting to work on, and also a good effective use of their time. So people prioritize. Therefore, my point is, the net result is that user have a direct influence on which bugs get worked on with the highest priority and thus get fixed faster. And those are the ones that have the most information available, and in particular bisec results when appropriate.
