Some package owners are just way, way overloaded. Recieving more email telling me I'm not looking at bugs isn't going to make me look at more bugs any more than dealing with dozens of "Is anyone looking at my bug?" bugmails. Typically kernel bugs get dealt with by severity (and I don't mean the severity pulldown in bugzilla -- having that user-visible is the worst idea ever). Low hanging fruit gets fixed up pretty quick too if I spot it, but there's so many bugs, there's just not enough hours in the day to give them all equal attention.
