I'm not blaming module maintainers for this, since they might just not have enough time to care about all this or more important things (or "real life" :-)) to do or whatever.
Well, I do blame them. Responsible maintainers *should* respond within two weeks to *any* bug they have on the issue queue. Any polite response would be better than silence. Only a handful of complicatedmodules can skip this rule, but we all know their maintainers are responsible anyway :) My own experience of Drupal core patches was also demotivating, where patches were discussed to every minor detail, not always in a professional way, but sometimes in a personal way, not without inappropriate comments or innuendos here and there. I have not reviewed enough to claim this counts for statistics, but it was enough to keep me away from core for a long time. -- Yuval Hager [@] yuval@avramzon.net
