Overall the "no response" query just passes the buck. Let's say we get that
query down to zero issues. What does that give us? Now we have 500 issues
with 2 responses. Sure, it makes further correspondence more likely, but
it's not solving any real issues and making any measurably significant
impact.

While I do think the "no response" query can be helpful, let's not attribute
too much value to tiny tweaks of the tracker and reporting. Benjamin is
right -- manpower is where we'll benefit the most, not in the manner we
paint the current issue situation.
