Dear list, Dear Lennart,
 
a week ago I have submitted a pulseaudio bug alongside with the patch
[1]. There was no response so far.
Knowing that Lennart is busy with systemd these days, I proceeded to
check the pkgdb status of pulseaudio. The only other maintainer with
commit access is lkundrak, who has been declared non-responsive a while
ago himself, plus 3 request pending.
To have such a critical subsystem barely maintained does not seem
sustainable. I have already stepped up to co-maintain pavucontrol and
paprefs, but PA proper is a whole other level. I have joined the waiting
list and am willing communicate the issues between Fedora and upstream,
but someone with an ability to fix bugs on their own would be welcome too.
Lennart, could you please look at the pending ACL requests? Thank you.
 
Merry Christmas everyone,
Julian

If you look at the build status you can see pulseaudio is hardly 
unmaintained.
 
Rex Dieter has also provided a backport of the latest pulseaudio to use 
with early releases. I'm sure he is very amenable to cherry picking 
patches from a later release if it fixes a specific issue people may be 
having.

Then why is no one fixing the identified bugs?
