"You and others" cannot substitute for a response *from the package
maintainer* acknowledging (or otherwise) the bug report. That's the
criterion being discussed here: not a resolution for the reported bug,
but rather a first response from the package maintainer to the bug
report, to acknowledge that it has not been ignored.
