If it is for software where I am also upstream (Audacious for example), it does tend to annoy me when people try their utmost to file bug reports before I commit my ebuild.

The time I can spend trawling upstream sites for new releases is limited. Just an idea: How about a metadata.xml tag that indicates whether early bump requests are= welcome? It's more of an individual developer preference, but that seems the right p= lace for it.
