Hi Cliff,

you're bringing up a painful subject. Anyway, I have to mitigate your 
message subject a bit: It is certainly not futile to report bugs in 
trac. Currently, on every open trac ticket, there are 7 closed tickets. 
The point in which I agree is that ticket handling happens too randonly 
and sporadic, so it can happen that tickets are unhandled for an 
extremly long time, as in your case.

One reason for this is that user and developer fluctuation is pretty 
high in TurboGears. Even the original founder left the project, who is 
normally the person who cares most. Also, work is currently spread into 
4 different branches (1.0, 1.1, 1.5 and 2.0), with most of the 
developers working on the 2.0 branch because it is most exciting, so 
tickets in the 1.x branches get little love.

However, things can only get better. There will be soon official 
releases of the 1.1 and 2.0 branch, so there will be less discrepancy 
between user base and development. And the fact that your ticket finally 
got handled may also indicate that something is improving.

In the end, it all depends on whether more people volunteer to 
contribute to TurboGears instead of only happily using it:
