You seem to think that there's someone who's in a position to issue orders to the contributors, like what to work (or do not work) on... I have to disappoint you. That's not how Open Source development works. The contributors are either volunteers, who work on what they want to; or employees of companies offering LibreOffice support, who work on what they are paid to. If there isn't anybody who wants to spend HIS time to fix reported bugs in LWP import (or is paid to), it won't be done. It's as simple as that. If you don't like waiting, then fix the bug yourself. Or find/motivate someone to do it for you. (Or pay to one of the support companies, after all.) Btw, that YOUR bug hasn't been fixed doesn't mean that we don't fix bugs. Your claim is not only not true, it's insulting. That doesn't give much motivation to any volunteer looking at this bug... Last thing: I don't understand the releases argument. Even if we did nothing else bug fix reported bugs for the next few years, the release cadence would remain the same, because releases are the only way to get the fixes to users. If anything, the amount of work on releases would increase, because more fixes on master would undoubtedly lead to more backports to older branches...</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
