Sorry? When did that happen? Do you refer to (IMO, the single occurrence
where some clarifications were asked):

 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574947#166

I replied:

I now understand that the answer was not enough, but this is new
information. As of 2014, there was no answer to this message. The whole
bug report is about people trying to understand and give information and
the maintainer not giving a damn. People saying that gtags don't work at
all for them didn't get any reply:

 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574947#34
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574947#176
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574947#190

If you refer to what Ron is asking in #841294, this is far too late. I
won't help to debug a 8+ years version of a software while the newest
version works just fine for me. Would you? It is not like this version
is somewhat maintained (as if it was a fork). The latest upload was in
2010.
