We do not need researchers to release or share reproducers though, we 
"only" encourage people who contribute bugfixes (esp. for 
security-sensitive issues) to add a qtest testcase.  Often the testcase 
would have no resemblance to the original reproducer (or even always, 
except for fuzzed issues).

Would that be allowed?  If not, we have a problem, because it means we 
cannot follow the basic principle of regression testing.

Ok, that at least wasn't clear to me.  Thanks for making it clearer.
