you have to understand that we receive lots of mails (i mean several thousands per day). we use scorring and the like to reduce the text volume to read but it still takes time. so when an adknowledgment (such as "ok", "thanks", "won't do it", "we'll do that after the release", ...) would be fine, we sometimes don't do it. i understand this can be frustating but we cannot yet clone ourselves to work 72h a day :-( if we get something just right, we just commit it :-) or we just package it :-) (and then it get reported in changelog ml) you can see that a confiance evidence in your posts or reliability proof into our reports we've an internal ml called install that get "spammed" with cvs commits. maybe should we make publically availlable a cooker-cvs ml. you must understand that releasing time is very stressing time for us. on the other hand, we're humans like everybody and we're not perfect. what's more sometimes we can be in mad mood because of multiples identical reports or "support requests disguised as reports", invalid bug reports, ... these 3 items may explain why sometimes people can think we don't care about them or their reports: this is just because we're not perfect. this was not planned. anyway we're sorry if you (the communauty) can get annoyed by feeling we don't care about you (ie by not get enough feedback from your feedback, ideas, ...). we can do better and will try to do better :-) we'll still try to give you the better we can do :-)
