i expect only the same i do since years for all things

if i take resposibility i answer requests or do not take over resposibility
paid and not is irrelevant here

this has NOTHING to do with enterprise
do you pay the reporter for his time?
no? so do not spit in his face by ignore him!

there are people contributing with their time writing a
bugreport - this is in the interest of ALL

for the example if you make a single comment "thank you for your report,
i am currently busy.... whatever phrase" you will not fall from your
throne and give the reporter a nice and acceptable feedback

responsibility is the right word but missing in fedora often
everybody is free to do everything or nothing
i agree this is good - but it does not work in the real world
because this needs people showing responsibility in the way
how tey are acting and not only using the word

it does simply not matter if someoney doing things for free
or for money - if someone does for money i would even understand
the no-response-attitude, if someone says he do things because he
likes them no understanding for this

one point of responsibility is taking some seconds of your
time to give ANY response after people spent time and
decided try to help making things better or they will
sooner or later deicde no longer waste their time!
