Hi Raju, Thanks for the suggestion regarding JIRA. I could configure JIRA to assign all JIRAs to me, but I am still considering the desired behavior. Even though committers may no longer be active, many of them still answer questions now and then so I don't want to lose those insights.
As for unanswered questions on the mailing lists, I would point people to the wiki to review historical docs, JIRA (as often old bugs have lots of details about the implementation), the code comments, and the forums (perhaps someone out there has information). The thing about open source is that it is supported by the contributors and as such, contributors come and go so the original author isn't always available.
