I don't care about the lies because what I need to know is that there is a major safety issue open since 2006 and the maintainer of the software have not fixed that yet.
I understand that people have their own schedules, I do maintain OSS myself: I am fine with developer taking months or even 1 year fixing stuff. 6-7 years is not justifiable though. If you didn't have time to code something important for an important piece of software you mantain in 6 years, you have no justification towards your user: don't pretend you do.
