Yes.

Not really. You send the report, and you may or may not get a response
(just as you may or may not have somebody respond to you in a bug
tracker).  Probably nobody has had a chance to look at it yet. If there
is a history to the bug (which there is in this case), it is sometimes
helpful to cc the previous participants to see if they are still
interested in it.

No, I don't think anybody is working on it at the moment (at least I
do not see anything near the time of that old discussion, nor do I
recall it being discussed since).

+cc Clemens, in case he had any work-in-progress as a result that did
not end up getting published.
