In short, I would summarize my old bug as follows:
1) A .m file in the future (or a computer in the past) causes octave to
reload it. [ Everything right so far ].
2) The current kpathsea library makes the reloading very slow, and this is
planned to be fixed, according to the PROJECTS file.
My bug report was 1)+2), but the maintainer insisted in closing it by
saying it was just 1).
In the specific dispute I'm involved, I have reported 2) now as a separate
bug, and now the maintainer calls me stubborn and says that not even 2)
is a bug.
I hope you will agree with me that this is good reason for me to
want *some* policy about bug reports to be approved soon.
But I have to agree with you in that normal procedures should not be
bypassed.
