Please don't throw the maintainer argument at me. There was no

no active maintainer
Oh come on, this is just a bad-faith argument. If you look at
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/openssh for more than two seconds it's
pretty obvious that I'm active. It doesn't follow that I have time to
address every single bug; I am human and have finite time, which I have
to prioritize.
Having to spend time on this kind of argument doesn't help.
or the maintainer does not care. But I care and
focusing especially on the oldest and inactive tickets in Debian. I am
handling in the interest of the Debian GNU/Linux project, working
against its long year image that it is old, outdated and inactive.
Keeping tickets open of that age without a good reason doesn't help.
All you needed to do was ask first.
Finding bugs that have actually been fixed (e.g. #166638 recently) _is_
helpful, though, and I appreciate that.
