All bugs *should* be dealt with, but requiring that it be done is counter productive when maintainers are unable to keep up with the bugs that they already have. High numbers of unresponded bugs are an indication that a maintainer or a package is spead too thin, but spreading them thinner is not the solution. Jumping in and helping out is.
