You're also expected as maintainer to ack the bug (especially an RC one in a trying-to-release period). It sounds to me that just saying “ACK, no need to NMU, we're actively working on getting this fixed” after the severity got bumped would have done the job. For people crawling through the RC bug list, that's nice to have a clue that people are working on this or that bug, so that one can focus on others. > > This is a RC bugs since three weeks, so I rather think the > > php-maintainers have been unpolite leaving it open so long...

Coordination and communication got lacking, no need to get so angry. ;) Mraw, KiBi.
