Confirmed, added bibisect log.
It's now up to developers to pick up challenge and fix that issue.

I never said that this bug SHOULD be left open and not fixed in
reasonable time. I only explained why some people might skip over this
one and devote their time to other issues, which they see as higher
priority.

As of improving "detective" - well, it could use some improvements,
like almost any other part of suite. In software development, there is
always something to do. In free software, usually there are very
limited resources (manpower, infrastructure, money, time etc.). That
means we end up with more work than we can complete. And that means
that "should" is not really helpful, because it does not bring us any
closer to out goals. The question is not "what should be done?", but
"who may do that?".
