However we should also consider the risks of this fix being too short sighted, opening other bugs etc. Therefore generally we should wait for the maintainers to take care of the situation. Depending on the gravity of the issue and scope of the big fix a different timeframe of delay may warrant taking that risk.

This is exactly correct. The biggest difference I see now is requiring developers to fire off a 6-7 word email if there is a delay that says "I am looking at this, no resolution yet, I will resolve in X days" X days later, "I am still looking at this, no time now, X more days" and so on. The silence is what kills, and makes people feel like nothing ever happens around here :). Greg
