Hi, the point you are completely ignoring is that the vast majority of all bug reports is answered very quickly. Major problems are usually fixed within a few days and patches are reviewed very quickly. It may happen that a bug report is not dealt with for a longer period of time. But this happens with a very small percentage of bug reports only. And it always happens for good reasons. Almost always it happens because the bug is not reproducible. Sometimes it may also be the case that it exists in a plug-in that is barely unmaintained and the core developers consider it a minor problem. Most such problems in plug-ins can be easily addressed by people who are not familiar with the internals of the GIMP code. That's why the core developers tend to leave this work to others. And yes, there are many bug reports. About five to ten per day. And only a handful of people dealing with them. And still we manage to maintain a pretty stable number of unresolved bugs. We have even managed to cut down this number siginificantly over the last years. I suggest that you do a statistics and look at all projects handled in bugzilla.gnome.org. Then compare the number of unresolved bug reports with the number of lines of code. When you have seen that result and still believe that we would ignore bug reports, feel free to complain.
