Well, and (for me) more importantly: I've send patches for different
bugs, asked for more information from the bug submitter and so on
(about two weeks ago) for two different packages. No reaction from
either maintainer nor any bug submitter. Well, now it's the question
for me how long to wait until trying a NMU (and that would be really
difficult for a non-maintainer).
It's sometimes difficult to fix a bug. But it's often more difficult
if you can't apply your fix.
