I'm not sure what that response is supposed to be adding to the
discussion since it's a well known fact the discomfort it brings to
reporters to have them go upstream to report.
I've added it because have stated "bugs" go unanswered.
That is the "problem" need fixing, not bugzilla.
There are 4 reasons that happens.
1. the packager is gone awol
2. the packager does not know how to fix
3. the maintainer lacks time to fix it.
4. bugzilla is not the interface the maintainer finds effective so he
ignores it
Is missing maintainer period too long?
Extra co-maintainers needed, with commit access?
Now can you throw as much endeavour into helping resolve that
To effectively resolve that you need to reduce the total number of
components in the distribution as well as how many components maintainer
is allowed to maintain as well as finding the communication interface
with the maintainer which he finds effective.
Reporting upstream is one solution to the interface problem, detecting
poorly maintained packages as well as orphaning unmaintained packages
and coming up with a time sharing program takes care of the rest.
With the exception of reporting directly upstream which I have been
always against, I pointed out the other things and you can find the
discussion surrounding that in the archives on devel.
