I gave up reporting bugs because they were ignored and not even acknowledged let alone fixed - for years. There is no evidence they haven’t gone to /dev/null. I won’t bother in future.

With Free software, I just do the work myself and include a patch. But beyond the tongue-in-cheek possibility of scripting things to submit every bug thousands of times to make it ‘popular’, it sounds like there’s no workaround to make an Apple bug report worth the time taken to submit it.

Yes, I also gave up more or less. I recently had a problem with AppKit, created a small example to reproduce, and used one of my Developer Incidents. I got an acknowledgement from them, was asked to open a radar, and provide the ticket number back. I did that but from that point on on there was silence. It may be possible that it will be fixed for 10.15, but the experience from my point of view is lousy.
