--- Comment #54 from Joel Madero <[email protected]> ---
I think you're missing the point that our developers are almost all volunteers
- so telling them what to do is impossible and disrespectful of their time.
This really isn't the security concern you've made it seem to be. You tried
going to the user list and multiple users (some of our experienced users)
commented and none agreed with you. Furthermore, we pointed out that the real
solution is encrypting a hard drive - we can't be responsible for users not
knowing how to really secure their data. Lastly - commenting over and over
again on the bug just makes the bug less useful as it just clogs the bug with
comments that don't really say much other than "this is important TO ME" - and
like I said - you tried getting other users to agree and none did on the list
(there are thousands on that list by the way).

To say the least this wasn't the ideal way to push this bug - if a bug is a
high priority for you - pay for a fix, or learn how to code. Else, asking us to
develop processes to force volunteers to work on a bug is very unlikely to
happen.

Rest assured for real security bugs you likely would have gotten more positive
response from the community (users, devs, QA, etc . . .). If you actually want
to contribute and become one of the thousands of volunteers putting in hours of
time for free - get in touch, I have plenty of non code related tasks that need
done and you can see how it can become irksome when users push for you to
dedicate your time in ways that you don't find to be the most productive use of
time
