Don't worry too much about non-response, if the issue is tracked it is just sitting in the priority queue waiting to reach the top (query for the developer's other bugs to get a *rough* estimate of queue length keeping in mind there are non-bug tasks also). There's often not much a developer can say to a bug until they have time to look at it in detail. Feature requests in particular have to go through product management and there's a whole process for that, so developers typically aren't going to be able to respond quickly. Also keep in mind that bug hacking peaks during the beta period and falls of sharply following a release as many engineers shift gears to feature work. Re: webmin, my impression is that it has no chance, nobody wants to sign up to do the potentially enormous number of security errata. Even aside from that the amount of maintenance work to keep the modules in sync with the OS would be large, based on past experience with linuxconf and other config tools. nano presumably does not present this issue.
