I would say, that is correct.
as a developer, i do not need users (some devs do), i scratch my own back. and
i don't like reading user comments either, but otoh, i am willing to
compromise a bit to give my program a broader audience, and that's why a bug
tracker is a good idea. also for mentioning improvements.
and also having some contacts with leaders of community sites, sometimes they
can summarize stuff for you.
