This is an open source project. Sometimes activity is high, sometimes  
not so high. Developers are on holidays or have a stressful time with  
their day time project. Whatever.

And obviously, looking at the mailing list you are using, this project  
seems to be busy and far from dead. I can understand that it is  
sometimes frustrating that an important issue is not fixed. But I  
think it is not a nice style to play with the 'Is this project dead?'  
phrase to raise attention for an issue. This is mud-slinging. I think  
the fact that within the period of three weeks no one has commented on  
a certain issue does not justify this at all.
