That explains why my bugs don't get looked at for months if not years when I submit them to such projects. I reported a bug that eats people's hard disks due to a bug in the X.ORG PCI support code on sparc, NOBODY has fixed the bug in 2 years even though a full bugzilla entry with even a full patch fix is in there. Bugzilla sucks, emails rules because it is in your face and gets people to work on things.
