I am waiting since Fedora 17 for responses to bugs that I registered. There is a glance at first, and then bingo, nothing. When Fedora 17 reached end-of-life, the Bugs that are release independent got wiped. For most of them, I promoted them to F18, then to F19
Fedora relies on volunteers mainly to do the testing and reporting. There is no central clearing house that redistributes the bug reports to Gnome, kde, Linux, Xfce, etc.
Moreover, there is no ageing of bug reports, so that older ones get raised in priority.
For maximum benefit to users, the quick fix bugs should be highest in priority, with those deemed to be longer in fix time, below, and major effort bugs lowest in priority. The idea, as it is done in every industry, is to satisfy the most users by not respecting FIFO.
Time to repair.
