Do you really not see finding flaws in applications as a problem?
These guys are trying to help and unfortunately the impression I get from Kovid is that it's bare minimum to fix the issue is being done, which results in it being easily worked around time and time again.
There's no dishonour in asking for help if you don't understand something, attacking someone trying to help you is just arrogant (yes I'm aware some of the other posters in the bug report are being d**ks too).
Heck he was given suggestions of using various other more secure apps rather than his own homegrown code. His reply boiled down to, it's not installed on my gentoo box so no. Even when a lead developer for Gentoo comes on and says it's gentoo's issue to fix dependency issues it's a no go.
The mind boggles.
