One thing we should try going forward is be more ready to won't fix and close bugs and RFEs we disagree with. I've seen several examples where the comments indicate the maintainers did not agree with the issue, but it still wasn't closed. E.g.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1227 Closing an issue is not irrevocable. Issues can always be reopened, if the reporter or anyone else disagrees. Indeed it is more respectful to reporters to be politely honest with them about our true objections, rather than simply ignoring the issue and not responding.
