Pitiful.
You state that my complaints are subjective but then refuse to give any
objective criteria yourself.
I suggest that we should have objective criteria that bug reports stay open
until they are fixed, and that the Debian BTS is an acceptable place for
reporting bugs in the upstream software. So far I am the one giving
objective criteria and you are the one making highly subjective assesments.
Do you have anything to add to this discussion?
