I would have thought that this would go without saying, but whatever. If your bugs have not been addressed, it is because some the Emacs developers are working on more urgent ones. If anything, such spamming reduces the rate of bugfixes by cluttering up mailboxes. If you think that your little documentation tweak (or whatever) has all-consuming importance, feel free to submit a patch.
