I would like to ask again for a clarification about this. Last month, I
asked if there was some rule against using bugzilla, but there were no
replies:

I do understand lack of manpower can affect new package requests. But
there are also bug reports with patches that have had zero feedback so
far. Of course these will also be affected by a manpower shortage, but
should be easier to handle than new package requests?
