> You seem to forget that What you (and apparently many other maintainers) seem to forget is:
> a) we are all volunteers Most bug reporters (including me) are volunteers too. Well managed projects treat good bug reports as a valuable resource to increase the quality of the project. Others consider them a nuisance which must be gotten rid of. Always good to know which kind of project this is. I promise you I won't bother you with any further bug reports. Though it would be easier for everyone to know this up front, and I'm only half kidding here. Maybe a flag can be introduced so reportbug will say "maintainers don't really want any bug reports, do you really need to continue?" > b) we are not upstream Then forward it to upstream. Debian strongly recommends users to report bugs via reportbug (see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting). That's well and good because some bugs may be due to Debian specific changes (*cough* openssl). But you know (I hope) who's upstream and can forward non-Debian-specific bugs there. > c) noone has looked at the project for several years Now that's really bad, especially for such a program. And I guess the last thing someone did was the change of GUI toolkits which is of course the most important thing for a phone program (not!). So I consider linphone a dead project now, that's all. > d) not all bugs can be clearly reproduced. We're not talking about all bugs, but one specific bug. My original bug report gave a very easy and clear description how to reproduce it. I don't think anyone actually tried to reproduce it. Did you set it to "wontfix" at least?
