That's simply not how it is. I don't see this is misconception. I have seen and still working on bugs that have been reported years ago. I have never said that bugs should be fixed soon. > > You submitted the Fedora bug in April, without attaching any patch or > anything. I am not fontconfig maintainer/developer so how am I supposed to know that what things need to fix bugs. Its responsibility of bug person to whom bug got assigned to ask reporter for patch. > I upstreamed it early May, the upstream maintainer asked for > a patch on May 24, and released fontconfig 2.6 at the end of May.

And then why you not CC'ed me to upstream bug. Does that look good to you? When I tried to search whats current status in upstream then only I realized that upstream is waiting for me. You should have asked me on IRC/mail to submit patch there. The only thing What I really don't like about you is that you never replied back to me that you are in need of input.

I don't see thats my key responsibility. > I've talked to fontconfig maintainer to try to get a new version out in > August. *That*'s how it should work. So then where am I comes in picture?.
