Also I feel that if maintainer refuse to fix something - that's a dead end as far as that particular bug is considered. We can try and track such bugs in different STATUS but there would have to be people interested in digging through such bugs and willing to fix it after the maintainer has given up. Which is possible but not likely. Parag
