This is a case of wrong expectations. You obviously expect that issues in the
bug tracker of this project are put in some kind of queue, with priorities and
such. No, this is just a pool of known issues; and there is *no* queue. An
interested developer may appear and take any bug, regardless of its
"importance" (for someone), just because that developer is hit by it today, or
has a customer who paid for fixing specifically this one, or just because they
were working on something related. Or a rather high-impact issue may lack an
interested developer for years and years. That is normal.

Some bugs really prove to be more important than others - not by discussion in
the bugs, but rather by the indicators showing their impact, like number of
duplicates and CC list. Such bugs get reflected in weekly ESC meetings as "Most
pressing bugs". They get there to get more visibility in the hope that this
would find them an interested developer, but still no guarantees.

A user filing to the bug tracker is doing the project a great thing: even
though the bugs are not promised to be fixed in timely fashion, having bugs
filed is very helpful, because sometimes it's some small bit that was missing
in older reports that makes it possible to fix easily; or some developers
searching bug tracker for some interesting task would not fix some bug if it
weren't filed... every contribution matters, and good [1] bug reports are one
of the most important kind of contribution possible. A user making such a
contribution should expect some follow-up clarification requests, but not much
more than that: the contribution is not done to get an instant end result. They
should not expect someone to "take it seriously", etc.

But when a user wants their problem resolved, bug filing is just a first
(important) step. The next one is finding someone to fix; and this means you
need someone to provide some service to you - this normally implies some
payment. There's a number of known certified engineers available [2], or you
are welcome to find anyone else to do that (in fact, finding people from
outside to fix your bug in LO is very nice, because it might help bring more
developers to the project - which could help decrease number of open bugs
here).
