Maintainers and developers are people too and I expect they take vacations or have to deal with kids, etc. I'm currently dealing with about 10 bugs on different machines, different hardware, some drivers, some applications. Many of these bugs have existed for months now and (frustratingly) none have been addressed as of yet. It's my opinion (and nothing more!!!) that a lot of Linux areas are sort of 'in trouble' or just messy right now. KDE is going through changes trying to get to 4.3. Gnome is coming up to some big changes and is scaring some folks so I switched to XFCE. Xorg is having more driver problems than I can remember right now so I bought a new video card to make my wife happy as the bug she was dealing with hadn't been touched in 2-3 months. This has happened a few times in the 10 years that I've been running Linux. It eventually works itself out but sometimes takes a while. Again, just my opinion. If you need the card right now then you might be out of luck. If you can wait and file bugs appropriately then you'll likely get a fix in the next few months. Hope this helps, emotionally anyway.
