Yes, this is probably the most helpful way for me to determine which 
ebuilds I want to touch when I look at the bug-wranglers list. Because I 
don't want to get stuck with the bugs later for something I don't use or 
don't have an interest in, I go through and pick up ebuilds that have a 
description that interests me. I'm sure other developers do the same. 
Additionally, it helps the bug-wranglers people decide where to assign 
those bugs.
