Theeeoretically, the package maintainer.

In the prototypical version of this back in the ancient days, I actually
put myself on the CC list of all of the closed bugs. But there are several
times more bugs than there used to be, and I think that would consume a
whole full-time person at least for a while.

It's kind of hard to construct the exact search because the Fedora EOL
script takes some time to run, and I don't think bugzilla allows anything
like "comment from not $GIVENUSER after comment from $GIVENUSER". If anyone
does know how to do that, help wanted. :)

I think it's acknowledgement that we don't have resources to fix all of the
crap. But I'd like if we could better identify the important cases where we
actually *should* make sure issues are addressed, while finding the right
balance between maintainer and user/reported burdens.
