It seems to be.  Responses from the Emacs maintainers seem to
rarely come to the bug list, rather they are sent privately to
person who reported the bug.  This reduces clutter on the list
and doubtlessly reduces mail to the maintainers.  But it also
make it tough on those who are trying to keep up with the
bugs/fixes.  I'd like to see more interaction on the bug list,
but it's not up to me.
