I was told¹ that if a Rust team bugreport had no response for a few days then it's lost, and you need a ping.
On the bug itself, as one would usually do for every bug, not debian-rust:
So the alioth mailing list is very much inhabited by humans and open to bug-related conversation, but it is also extremely high traffic, thus less suitable to human discussion. Which is why we move all discussion not related to specific bugs to d-rust, which instead is very low traffic.
And I stress:
all discussion not related to specific bugs
I also said
if your bug is older than a few days, either someone noticed it when it arrived in their mailbox and noted it down (which we do), or somebody went looking for it (which we also do), or somebody tracked it via alternative mechanisms (e.g. via the DDPO or by subscribing to bugs, see also [2] for my pre-DD experience). Either those or it's lost
So no, it's not automatically lost. But it can become due to high traffic, if no one does the things I listed.
