Ahhh, my misunderstanding. I just assumed that James was the maintainer
in the original message and continued with that same assumption through his
last email.
Personally, I don't think it's the submitters responseablity to monitor
the state of the bug, severity or otherwise. Submitters often have a
highly biased view of the bug since it is quite obviously affecting them.
If I (simple developer hat on here) submit a bug as "important" and the
maintainer or the distribution maintainer decides it is otherwise, I
should respect that. It is, after all, the "maintainers job". Trust
them to do it.
