As a maintainer who also cares about feedback and usability, but who doesn't maintain any high-traffic projects, I can just about imagine how frustrating and destructive of motivation it gets to see the same no-thought issues raised over and over and over.
But if you close them NOTABUG or WONTFIX, you get a reputation as that guy who just doesn't want to hear about it, what a bastard.
I think there must be a middle way somewhere, for those projects which attract a lot of interest but few or no co-maintainers. But I'm glad I'm not on the hook for finding that middle way, too.
