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)
