That may or may not be true  What is true is that nobody is under any

I don't know.  It all varies.  Much according to the way problems are 
approached.  People tend to problems they are interested in.  If 
nobody is interested in your problems, nothing will get done.

I cannot answer for SF. The list will remain where it is for the 
foreseeable future.

If you are looking for paid support for Bacula, I am sure there are 
people that will take your money and deal with you. But you have 
rights.  Nobody is obligated to you.
