It depends on the component. We have to strike a balance between waiting 
forever in hope of getting good feedback and getting a quick release 
without any testing.

Just because one bug you filed didnt get feedback doesnt mean that 
feedback is being ignored. Largely because there are hundreds of bugs 
being filed across thousands of components every day developers cannot 
respond immediately to every single one of them. Try getting involved 
with the bug triaging team if you want to help on the receiving end.
