At my startup, I&#x27;ve dealt with ~4700 reports on my own over a few years. So to me I&#x27;d guess 2500 between 5 devs, even part-time, is manageable.<p>The #1 most absolutely key aspect of the way I deal with this volume of issues is: have clear, specific bug report guidelines, and instant-close without investigation any reports that don&#x27;t follow it to the letter. The goal is to (somewhat ruthlessly) train users in to making useful reports. This does frustrate users sometimes, but it&#x27;s actually in everyone&#x27;s interest: if they make good reports their issue is more likely to be fixed, and as the developer I can&#x27;t spend hours every day figuring out how to extract information from a relatively uncooperative non-technical user. In fact at a startup there&#x27;s simply not the time.
