Comment 49 for bug 427539

Mathias, I'm not sure I understand your comment. Isn't it the maintainer's job to maintain Maven? By your logic, if I don't know enough about the trip computer in my car to maintain it, I shouldn't rely on my car?

Also, I love Ubuntu and have been using it exclusively since Breezy, but it does have a bit of a reputation for having bugs that go unfixed (often for years) unless a critical mass of people are vocal enough about them. Clearly, maintainers are volunteers and don't have the time to fix every bug, and that's why I would think that comments such as the ones you mentioned are critical for helping you decide which get priority.
