No, Rahul, I will not follow a bug report, for two reasons.

You aren't expecting every maintainer to subscribe to user lists and follow all the threads here. Do you? Very very few people have the time to do this and mailing lists are not a good place to keep track of bugs which is why bugzilla exists.


* The package is so pathetically broken (see earlier in this thread)
that the lack of the php-mysql package is irrelevant, another reason
to believe that the maintainer doesn't give a damn.

Not everyone hits the same problems. I wouldn't assume anything without even sending any feedback.
