You received an ack of your report from the bug tracking system.
But it seems that you are concerned that this bug is not getting
enough human attention. That is quite possibly true. Debian as a
whole has too much work to do with too few people. Maintainers have
to choose which packages and which bug reports are going to receive
their attention.
Maintainers will try to work on those tasks which they think will give
the biggest gain for the lowest effort. Or - as volunteers - which
they think are most fun.
To try to escalate the priority of a bug you are interested in, by
sending content-free pings, is rude. Debian contributors should
ignore a submitter who behaves in that way.
As a user, or a bug submitter, you do not have a right to a fix. You
do not even have a right to a reply from a human.
If you are dissatisfied with the progress of the work to investigate
and fix a bug, then the Debian maintainainers will generally welcome
your constructive help. In this case that probably means: Feel Free
To (Investigate And) Submit A Patch.
If neither you nor your friends have the skills to work on the bug
yourselves, and you would like to ensure you have a right to a reply
to your emails and bug reports, I suggest you employ someone (an
individual or a company), on a commercial basis, to provide you with
the support you require.
Thanks,
Ian.
