First off I'm not even going to pretend I know all the technicalities of actually making a mod, I don't, I don't even call myself a modder, that would be like telling people I'm a scientist when all I do is bang two bricks together and hope something interesting happens. However, the modders in question here are people who actually know what they are doing, they should be technically competent and able to work with the system they are using, otherwise I question how they'd even make a mod in the first place. Bugs are an essential part of modding, whether you like it or not you will always have problems, hell, most full games have their bugs. If you find a bug, you try and fix it, if you're competent, you should be able to, is it easy? fuck no, none of it is.
I've watched Flan bang his head against the wall for days about a ridiculous bug, we had absolutely no indication what was causing it, but sure enough, the guy knew his code, knew the system he was working with and was able to successfully identify and fix the issue, how exactly he did it is quite honestly black magic to me, but any competent modder should be able to keep up with the support side, if you're incompetent it's pretty difficult to make a mod worth selling. If I had such an issue I'd be completely fucked, I'm not competent dealing with this sort of thing (not that it would ever happen, usually these issues are Flan's fault), but on the flipside I'd never want to sell it, I know I'm not capable of making something worth buying. However, a competent modder making a good quality mod, would be able to sell, and if they did, and someone reported a bug, they'd damn well try and fix it, if they've been able to create a mod worthy of being sold, they should be competent enough to squash a few bugs. And trust me, you're not going to try selling your mod unless you know it's of the best quality.
As for description, you take screenshots of whatever looks best, as per any game made ever. If you have a few minor flaws, you should be fine, most games have minor flaws here and there, and they sure as hell never tell us about them.
