Well, then comment on the bug report and ask for feedback from the developers.

We are all volunteers, and simply do the most important work in the
little time we have available, assuming we deliberately "forget" bug
reports is wrong.

Yes, and the best place to send a reminder is to comment on the bug
report itself, as the developers are assigned to it and get all that
in their inbox.

But assuming that the bug was forgotten is just plain wrong. If you
think we should do more work on bug reports, can I invite you to
actually help triaging bug reports? That would greatly increase the
likelihood for important bugs getting on top of the pile in the TODO
list.

Well, then they should get a life, really, they get this software for
free from people who mostly work on their free time on it, if they
feel ignored that is their problem, sorry to be so blunt
