I don't mean to be confrontational.  If I thought I had a bug I would possibly do as \
you suggest.  Until I know the intended behaviour (ie the design) I cannot \
distinguish between bug and enhancement, nor where I would start looking as the best \
place for enhancement code.  Why would submitting suggested code get us any further?

What is "top post"?  Does that mean I should not reply to my own subject, asking \
again?  If so what should I do, just give up after a few weeks with no reply? These \
are honest questions and not meant to be confrontational.

My other option is to log a support call via Oracle I guess, and see if they have a \
procedure for moving such problems forward - perhaps I will try that but it will be a \
whole lot of effort there too.

Essentially I am contributing here!  I did spend many hours debugging to reach my \
conclusion and to present the findings.  I am pointing out there is an important and \
definite problem here.  I am not waiting nor expecting some fixes per se, just some \
discussion/acknowledgement etc.  If there is no audience then I will stop wasting \
time looking for replies. 

I am really not sure how this process should work when there are no replies to the \
subject at all, that is all.

Please don't top post.

I don't think there is a single developer with such responsibility. If you think \
you've found a bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/ If you've got a patch, post it, or \
attach it to the bugzilla entry.

[BTW: I'm not a samba developer, but to me: you're coming across pretty \
confrontational - hence the tone above. You might want to try a more collaborative \
approach for this kind of project.]
