You have a point. I actually used to have a thread about it with bug/regression tag, until I was pointed here.
On the other hand, if thread editor tag is sufficient enough to justify simply skipping a thread in feedback forum, that had been afloat for two months, linked to in a bug report, and mentioned while tagging community manager and project coordinator… nah. That would be just disrespectful not to skim through 10 pages.
Either the number of reports is too low, or the was looked into and the cause was not identified, or there is simply broken telephone all along.
I’m not developing any project of my own, just a contractor. Not affected by the directly, just one of those, advising on feasibility and risks of upgrading the project and doing a courtesy of bringing attention to, severity and scale of which was greatly underestimated. And I am stoned with the fact that nothing appears to be done to investigate it.
Bug reporting system depicting a bouncer instead of investigator will inevitably spirals towards reduction in number and quality of reports.
