'Your bug' is a bit missing the point. It's the author's bug, not
the user's.

It's certainly like that here. 

A bugtracker is a tool used by a developer or a team much in
the same way as an electronic or paper agenda is. If I want
a meeting with some person I'll call him/her or maybe his/her 
secretary. I don't write myself into his/her agenda or todo-
list.

If some project gets a bug report via email or a mailing list
it's a simple matter for a developer to enter it into the bug
tracker of his/her choice. Or write it down on a post-it (TM).
It probably takes less time than reading, evaluating and
assigning it, which has to be done anyway.
