I have found in the past that the way to get INRIA people
to act on a bug, even a minor spelling error in the documentation,
is to make an entry in their BugTracker.
They do take these entries seriously, and state quite clearly
that bugs reported in the main mailing list may or may not
get fixed: bugs in the bug tracker are, in my experience,
ALWAYS resolved. It may take time, and the resolution may
be 'not a bug' or even 'spam' or whatever, but INRIA folks
do actually use the bugtracker to schedule priorities.
The point is to annoy them in their preferred way of being
annoyed .. :)
