I would also like to emphasize that there are no "powers that be" for
Octave or Octave forge.  Both are largely community projects.  If you
want things to improve, then it would be much more useful for you to
help in constructive ways, say by providing funding or helping to fix
the problems you encounter.

Yes, bug reports can be a useful contribution, but if you receive no
response to a bug report and you find that it is not fixed for some
time, then it might be that no one noticed the report, or no one knows
how to fix the problem.
