OOo suffers from having _too_ many mailing lists. The last time I
counted, there were over a hundred mailing lists. As a result, requests
for the things you mention can be scattered over all of them.

That is due to one of several things:
* They are discussed and (maybe) fixed on a specific list of the NLP
that is affected by the specific bug;
* They are discussed on one of the specific developer lists;
* They are discussed in issuezilla;
* They are ignored;
* The gatekeepers for Issuezilla don't have a clue about history,
geography, writing systems, languages, or anthropology, and hence close
issues because of their ignorance in those subjects;

Historically, every time a slightly different aspect of project
management has come up, a new list has been created for it. Which means
that the only communication that happens, is between people who are
subscribed to the same list. If people aren't subscribed to a list,
they have lost the ability to even marginally track what is going
elsewhere in the project.
