Thank you! Please let me know how I can contribute to this.

Apologies, I'm new to emacs mailing lists and unfamiliar with the
contributors, and I considered the empty email spam.

Like RMS suggested, perhaps an automated immediate response
system for reports would indeed be a good choice to indicate to
contributors that their report indeed has been received.

I agree with the latter part about moving to emacs-devel.

I'm sorry for that as well, like I mentioned before I'm a newbie contributor and
do not have the know-how with how contributors and maintainers interact.
This is no excuse for being impatient but I thought I'd explain myself.

Thank you!
