Way too many people add comments to a bug report asking for a status update on their reported problem, or some similar request. In general, if a developer hasn't added any comments to a report, there is no new status to report, and they will get to it in time, depending on their various priorities. The more time spent
Despite that (and that is my personal opinion), if a serious bug doesn't get accepted (i.e. stays NEW) for several months (or isn't active for a very long time) giving a heads up to the developer (maybe as a PM) might be justifiable.
You believe that all developers look at bugzilla emails? ;o) I know most do, but I'm convinced that some have bad procmail filters. ;o)
On the other hand, I don't consider a missing BuildRequires: as serious ;-).
Generally speaking no, but there are some cases where it is bad. ;o)
