The core problem appears to be that Joerg did not get a response at all.

With regard to this comment in an earlier post:

a boilerplate response could have been made, of the form

"<Inert name(s)> [is |are] entwined with encumbered code, and certain 
agreements are in place that would be repudiated if Sun were to discuss any 
instant details in a public forum"

which could just as well be programmed into a hotkey and sent in seconds, no 
matter how busy a staffer might be.

If I read Joerg correctly, his problem is that he didn't get a response at all, 
until his watchdog timer popped [I don't know how long that was]

No response is a response--that often doesn't speak well, and volunteer 
engineers usually have the immense luxury--unlike employees--of "resigning" 
with absolute impunity.
