That's my point. A package like libc6 is burdensome. It would not be fair to expect that a single person will always be able to keep a high level of responsiveness. It is worrisome that some bugs just go unnoticed because of shortage of volunteer time or for some other reason because this hurts the overall quality of the distribution. I think quality is one thing that Debian can and must surpass other distributions. I strongly feel that packages, especially important/big ones must have multiple developers / peer reviews and we should have some sort of check on how well the bugs have been evaluated. Still, I must apologize because the bug I reported was inaccurate, and all that. However, I would not have reported it if there was no problem. No bug should be closed without some investigation and communication by the maintainer. BTW, might bugzilla be better than Debian BTS in some aspects? Just a thought...
