We have allocated people to fixing them. These bugs were explicitly
assigned in the 34.2 iteration:
Bug 947574
Bug 1002439
Bug 1041537

and we've made some significant progress in tracking them down. But as
you know, fixing these issues can be relatively difficult.

If we're reduced to interacting with each other with hammers, then
we've failed. Firefox peers will not ignore needinfo or review
requests. If you feel that they are, then you can escalate to me as
module owner. I do not ignore requests, and am quite responsive to
email and IRC pings.
