It's not being ignored, exactly --- the part of it that is actually
useful is that bug reports entered via the webform are spit out to the
pgsql-bugs mailing list. Which the developers do read, and respond to.
(I see your ecpg bug report on the list, BTW.) But no one is
maintaining the bug database in the sense of marking stuff done.
I hadn't realized that there was a publicly-visible database attached
to the webform, actually. Perhaps we should not make the database
visible, if we're not going to update it. Vince, what do you think?
