Take issue #143 for instance. It is the oldest open issue on the DLang Issue Tracking System. Submitted by Jarrett Billingsley on May 17, 2006, it received one comment two days later but was ignored for four years before Michal Minich made the second comment. Another two years went by before Martin Nowak addressed the issue, which Walter promptly reverted (reason unknown). The end result? Eight years flew by and the issue remains unresolved.
The main reasons why issues get stuck are unfinished debates, missing decisions and the general lack of manpower. Prioritization, focus and a bit of planning would help most to improve this IMO.
