Exactly. And growing the contributor community is how we can solve that problem.
Is this more than a cheap excuse? This problem exists ever since Fedora
exists and has never been addressed.
I agree with Michael. The fundamental problem is many maintainers not
responding in timely manners (when a problem still is acute to the
reporter), but maintainers trying to "sit out" problems until garbage
collection sweeps them under the carpet.
Furthermore, when you have a closer look at which BZs don't get
addressed you'll find pretty obvious patterns, for the reasons why they
have not been addressed.
