It is your assumption (and not more) that no response means no one looks
at it. There are in fact more reasons than just "no one cares" which lead
to no one responding to an issue. Which? Just think about why _you_ don't
respond to every issue on bugs@. You'll see the same phenomenon in other
projects too, even where it's "properly monitored".
Problem 4: A common problem with all the free projects, not following up
on "bugs" but leaving them to rot for years and years. Many open bugs
are obsolete or solved, but the report is still open. However, the
prevailing thought is just leave them alone.
No, the prevailing thought is to leave bugs open which might still be
present (and thus not confirmedly solved or obsolete), and not just close
them by age. If you know a bug that is obsolete or solved, feel free to
close it.
