They may like/use the package, or they may want to help out other people who do, or any of a number of other reasons. Additionally, bugs/issues are present in all software, and maintainers need to figure out where to spend their time. I find http://www.rants.org/2010/01/10/bugs-users-and-tech-debt/ to be a great read on this. :) As to the responsive question and emails, personally I would surely respond to a personal email asking if I was still around/working on some package, but I would very much dislike getting bugs directly on personal email. It's bad for a lot of reasons for bug fixing purposes: * It doesn't allow easy filtering into one place so you can work on bugs in the time you have set aside to do so. * It cuts out all co-maintainers of a package from the conversation, some of which may be more active or know the solution to your bug. * It's hard to notify anyone who might be interested in a fix. * It doesn't allow easy transfer. If a maintainer decides to hand a package off to another maintainer(s) they may not have those emails or know anything about those bugs. So, please do file bugs or issues in bugzilla. kevin
