Software projects today, IIUC, are communities. The "volunteers" should do what the community wants, not necessarily what you or I want. Do you think the free/oss software community wants volunteers who ignore bugs or refuse to fix bugs in free/oss software? If they do ignore a bug or refuse to fix a bug with a known fix, don't they owe an explanation to the community? If not, why not?
