A bug reporter should never be yelled at. The correct response should
be "Thank you for the report, but we have already fixed that bug in XYZ
branch, would you mind testing that?"
That's how I respond to such reports.
I've been told that yelling is never appropriate (although I may not
totally agree with that statement), but nasty messages to people
reporting bugs to your code (regardless if it's fixed or not someplace
else) is totally uncalled for.
