Well... yeah? That sounds like a self-correcting problem.

So given (very!) limited resources, what criteria do you propose for prioritizing which bug reports to tackle? Are you saying that "bugs affecting more users" shouldn't be prioiritized over those that affect fewer users? If you want *your* bugs resolved first, then you have _always_ had to either (1) DoItYourself(tm), or (2) pay (or otherwise convince) someone else to do it for you. For a related example dear to me, Gutenprint just announced that it is completely dropping MacOS support, and it has not been received well. It is undoubtedly quite important for those users, but complaints don't magically make suitably skilled developers appear [1], much less make them stick around for what is an endless grind of trying to keep up with Apple's forced obselesence and other platform-level shenenigans. [1] The former MacOS maintiner walked away in early 2021. Nobody left even has _access_ to a Mac, much less the necessary skills to solve the outstanding issues. - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org (email&xmpp) @pizza:shaftnet dot org (matrix) Dowling Park, FL speachy (libera.chat)
