I think that's an overly strong statement.  I try to make a pass over
the open bugs every few weeks.  But, I will try to increase the
frequency at which I do this.

I wish I'd been able to fix this more quickly, but there are certainly
other regressions that have been open longer than 12 days.

I don't think that's true; it's not that critical of a bug.  However, we
do have a process in place for reversions, and it's certainly reasonable
to invoke that process if you think that's appropriate.  In this case,
however, it looked like Richard was not aware of the process.
