In general, I agree -- the quicker handling of these incomplete bugs avoids the
trouble that the reporter thinks everyting is fine with it and gets angry if it
get closed much later. However, while 10 days is usually enough, I would extend
to maybe 30 days to allow for things like "reporter on vacation" etc.

Best,
