I sent this email to debian-devel, bugscan, debian-qa, debian-qa-private and debian-private to reach as many maintainers as possible.
I hope that some of those bugs get fixed by now or I will surely do some a NMUs if the maintainer is happy about it or not. I won't accept that bugs like #45428 stay open for over 2 weeks without any reaction from the maintainer. If someone needs help to get a bug fixed, feel free to contact the QA comitte (they get a Cc). We definitely need to decrease the number of bugs. On 99-11-26 BugScan reporter wrote: > Total number of release-critical bugs: 329 Hasn't there been a bug squashing-party?
