Actually, your report did slip through the cracks. I just happened to go
through some old mailing list threads without replies.

I think we can expose our mailing list policy a bit more in the manual.
We generally reply for new mails within 1 month. If it does not happen,
it may be a good idea to followup reminding the maintainers about the
unanswered bug report.

I am attaching tentative patch for manual that details this.
Any objections?

Bastien, WDYT?
