A long time ago, I found a bug. Being a good little 
user/contributor, I reported it. It's here: 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15086

I then had to painfully convince the leadership that it is indeed 
a bug. I'm still not sure if Walter recognizes the actual issue.

Years later, Walter told us to post to the forums if we want to 
"get action" on issues. I did that. Nothing happened. [1][2]

Now you're asking me to email you. I'm not going to jump through 
that hoop. I have no reason to believe that this new channel is 
going to be more effective than the previous ones. Also, I want 
my airing of grievances to be public, not neatly hidden away in 
your personal emails.

You have a Bugzilla database full of bugs. You need to figure out 
how to fix them. You do not need new, less transparent channels 
to report them.

If Bugzilla seems too big to handle, that should tell you: Stop 
adding new features; start chipping away at the bug mountain.
