It's not a case of maintainers refusing to respond, it's a case of some maintainers of some packagages drowning in bugs and not being able to respond to all of them. [I don't believe any maintainer of packages, given enough hours in the day, would fail to respond to reasonable bug reports.] I'm open to suggestions of real solutions to this problem, (indeed, I continue to suggest that interested people jump in and help out) but technical hurdles for maintainers to overcome and waste their limited time in trivialities are pointless, and not something I'm willing to support.
