No, I don't keep track of such things ;-)


Generally, if someone is being ignored it's because:

- I'm busy and I'll reply a month or two later.

- They emailed me instead of the list, and I didn't notice and assumed
  someone else would answer/notice (security warnings and obvious fixes
  are the only things that should be sent directly to me, please).

- They asked several questions in one email and I'm waiting until I have
  time to answer all of them (one post per question usually works better).

Note that whether you post to the list, email me or use the bug tracker /
patch tracker, an email appears in my inbox just the same... but I prefer
publically archived communication so other people can answer questions,
and the answers get archived for other people.
