On bugzilla, someone owns that issue/package - so they can answer that
question. On this list, no-one necessarily owns the problem and there is
the possibility that no-one can answer authoritatively.

(Disclaimer: I work in a support role and as far as I am concerned, from
a customer perspective, someone has to own your issue otherwise there
is no concept of accountability and I believe even in the OSS community
that principle holds)
