It's not a case of maintainers refusing to respond, it's a case of
some maintainers of some packagages drowning in bugs and not being
able to respond to all of them. [I don't believe any maintainer of
packages, given enough hours in the day, would fail to respond to
reasonable bug reports.]
I'm open to suggestions of real solutions to this problem, (indeed, I
continue to suggest that interested people jump in and help out) but
technical hurdles for maintainers to overcome and waste their limited
time in trivialities are pointless, and not something I'm willing to
support.
