That confuses me a bit.

One the one hand, there is an open bug requesting help with package 
maintenance /bug triaging, ...), 
but on the other hand, when one writes comments or patches to bugs,
and tags bugs [maybe not 100% correct sometimes]), the reaction
does not sound positive either.
(I.e. no reaction to patches, which may break installations)

Please give me tips, what I shall do if I want to help with getting
package in a better shape (bug numbers lower, ...) ?

Regards
Peter
