Bug reports might be silently ignored by the MySQL maintainers if there is not a good reason included in the report as to why mysqlbug has not been used. A report that says 'MySQL does not work for me. Why?' is not consider a valid bug report. The mysqlbug script can be found in the 'scripts' directory in the distribution, that is 'there-you-installed-mysql/scripts'.
