Again, as I said in my message, I'm not proposing removing developers that
maintain packages with bugs, or packages with very old bugs. This case is
different. The developer has literally *ignored* bugs for over 700 or 800
days, depending on the bug. That's right -- no response to the submittor.
No evidence of any action to fix it. Nothing. Another case is where there
have been developers maintaining packages with release-critical bugs during
a freeze but have not even made any effort to fix them (I would be satisfied
by an effort of saying "I can't fix this, can anyone help?" to debian-devel)

Of course not.
What you are talking about and what I am talking about are two different
things.
