I wasn't specifically talking about Aleksey or Misha here. E.g. I've 
several times asked to split certain tests into smaller parts and got 
ignored. I've also reported bugs in libraries and got ignored.
I'm aware of the fact that Aleksey and Misha also have duties in their 
jobs and that they can't work for Boost 24/7. In fact, I found them very 
responsive when they had enough time.
