Not necessarily if you priorize in that way:
1. urgency / whether it affects lots of users
2. report quality
3. whether it is trivial
4. whether it includes a patch
5. karma of the reporter

It would just mean that between that a bug having a good report AND a
trusted reporter would be treated faster than a bug having just a good
report. Higher karma usually meaning less resources necessary and faster
resolution.
