Have you tried looking here:
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/show_bug.cgi?id=2532 Or how about this
one: https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/show_bug.cgi?id=3638 I believe
these are the bugs you are talking about, correct? Or something pretty
close anyway. That they are in the bug tracking system seems to be
confirmation that they are noticed. If I might stand up in defense of David
(Odin, aka DindinX, the one that all the bugs are assigned to, and the one
that bitched the other day about people repackaging rpmdrake without telling
him, so obviously this is his baby and obviously he notices something and
seems to care), despite not knowing him at all, he doesn't seem to reply to
the list very often, and seems to be more partial to dealing with bugs that
get into bugzilla (he probably doesn't want my help on this - too bad, huh?
;-) ). He's just a guy, with his own way of doing things, just like any
one of us. I think that once a few people have discussed it on the list and
decided that it is indeed a software bug and not some silly
configuration/corrupt config file/whatever kind of issue, then the next
logical step is to put it in bugzilla, and wait for the fix without
complaining about it more to the list. That's what archives of the list and
bugzilla are for - to see if your problem has addressed so that you don't
have to ask again. If you're interested in whether or not a bug has been
fixed, you could always add your name to the CC list in bugzilla and you'll
get an email when the bug's status changes.
All that being said, I do agree that the changelogs could have some
reference, maybe to the bugzilla bug id (more definite than the name of the
person that reported it).
My 2 cents (Canadian).
