And nothing at all is going to change as long as everybody keeps
waiting for somebody else to act. Can't tell what the name in
your language is for the game which Germans refer to as
"Beamten-Mikado" -- you lose when you are the first to move, in a
room full of people who try to not move at all, to save their
energy and not get into trouble by doing something wrong.

Is still everybody watching? Is seriously nobody else able to say
or do anything helpful? How much time has passed? How many times
did you ask for help? How severely was the issue raised, by users
and by developers? How many people should have seen this request
of yours? How many could have responded? And how many did? Is
_this_ not shocking? And so telling. Do you still believe that
it's the developers' fault when not a single user even attempts
to take a look and do something that helps? Like comment on what
is seen. Do you honestly believe that other users could not
possibly help, or could never have noticed at all that you were
asking for help? (If you would, that'd be as telling.)

What you experience and complain about, that deafening silence,
is how users have kept treating developers for ages. Are you
confused, exhausted, uncertain, frustrated, some out of it or
everthing at the same time? Guess how developers feel. How many
more times need I repeat it? CEASE WATCHING. Consider lending a
hand, and help get some of the work done. Spend some of your
time to help your fellow users. Don't wait.

Or wait if you want to. That's OK too, just stop complaining. It
was your choice to wait for somebody else to get around to it.
That might take time, deal with that. If you feel that waiting is
OK, then what would you complain about if others wait, too?

Or (that's my take) complain to everybody equally who still would
not respond although they could have. After all those requests
and the time that has passed. Your pick.
