[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Ignored patches, ignored bugs

[From: Murray Cumming]

There are several simple Maemo bugs that are stopping the maemomm C++
bindings from being perfect. We have listed these in our TODO files:
https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/hildon-libsmm/TODO?root=maemomm&view=markup
https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/hildon-fmmm/TODO?root=maemomm&view=markup

Most of these show up in my personal list of maeommm bugs too:

But maemo.org/bugzilla is starting to feel like a black hole. Even the
most simple no-brainer patches are ignored. I don't know what to do
about this. I don't want to bother the maintainers directly via email
because that would only make their lives unpleasant.

I am still convinced that Nokia/Maemo needs to dedicate someone to these
simple tasks, so that they don't block peopless' work, as I've mentioned
before:
