This is not the sort of thing I'm talking about. You read and answer
e-mail. There are people out there that completely ignore bug reports; not
even saying "this is difficult and it may be awhile before it gets fixed" to
the submittor. If they're queried, they ignore the queries. Again, as I've
said many times, I do not have a quibble with old bug reports themselves; my
quibble is with maintainers that shirk responsibility. I do not consider
the behavior you have mentioned to fit that description.
