A Sad Day for Rust

This isn't a serious response. As amply demonstrated in TFA and elsewhere, the harassment was far more than "reporting bugs".

And, anyway, yes, reporting bugs can be extremely annoying. Different devs respond to this annoyance differently. npm devs, for example, have decided not to pay too much attention to bugs reported by the public. [0]

I would never touch the product of someone who found bug reports annoying.

Strangely, I would rather deal with developers who find bug reports annoying than folks who simply ignore them. The former have a touch of pride and you have a chance to get them to see your point of view. Better that than speaking to a black-hole.

That's a good policy, both for you and for them.
