You are assuming that the maintainers are employed/paid to maintain that project. In quite a number of cases they are not paid for it, so given that you may or may not get it fixed. And if I was a volunteer for a project and my "supervisor" started harassing me, then you would need a new maintainer for that project. Remember they are not being paid and you are not paying for the product. Even when one has an expensive paid support contract getting some things fix is still often impossible/difficult and in that case there is some limited contract requirements for the support organization to help you. Remember most of the less used parts are volunteers they may or may not have time to fix the bug. I have fixed a few bugs that were in stuff that I used and that I was pretty sure there was no paid person to maintain. I submitted the fix/patch back to fedora and they fairly quickly put that patch into an update. This is how open source generally can work, others see the bug, figure out the fix and submit the fix.
