I think you are mis-remembering.  AdaCore accepts bug reports (via
report@adacore.com) from the general public.  If it turns out to
be a real bug, AdaCore will fix it eventually.

Paying customers of course have higher priority.

Perhaps you are thinking of the fact that AdaCore does not pay any
attention to comp.lang.ada.  Comp.lang.ada is just a discussion
forum -- if you want to report a bug, you have to submit it
through the right channels.  I read comp.lang.ada once in a while,
just for fun -- certainly not on a regular basis.  I think a few
other AdaCore employees do the same.  Most never read c.l.a.
