i do not judge!

in my opinion there is no reason to not respond
respond can be negative with a short "why"
well, this would be much more helpful as bugzapper-mails

it is a hughe difference if you give no feedback to anyone
who took the time to make a bugreport or ignore it

if the respponse is "sorry no time yet" is would be much
morehelpful than no response at all

yes - and bugzapper-messages should be sorted out to find
inactive maintainers - i do not say that every ignored
report is a inactive maintainer but it is a possible sign

we all know that nothing will be perfect now or in future but
give users the feeling that they are not ignored is a high value
