How can we better acknowledge Athena bug reports?

Problem:

Users who take the time to submit bug reports do not reliably get an
acknowledgement of any kind.  Although Mike Barker, and Greg Hudson on a
best efforts basis reply to some of the incoming bug reports, there
really is no guarantee that a bug report will be read or replied to.

It occurs to me that, properly speaking, the task of saying "We received
your report, and are sorry you were inconvenienced." is a SUPPORT issue.
Is there some way we can get coverage here from consultants, or help
desk personnel?
