I'd concur with Graeme's observations:

- it often takes longer than a year for a bug report to be triaged at
all, not even thinking of "looked at by the packagers" -- even for
things that are clearly upstream bugs and need to be delegated outside
Ubuntu, which doesn't require packager attention but can happen in
triaging already.

- there is a certain "fixed in future-release" habit that leaves LTS
users standing in the rain with critical bugs.
