December: I find a bug in ImageMagick, and send them a patch which seems to fix it for me.

Nothing happens for three months.

April: I send it to them again. They reply saying they saw the patch and that it was wrong, which is fair enough as far as technical content goes; but if they'd replied in an even vaguely timely manner I might have still had enough state in my head to try to fix it.

Right now I just think they're unhelpful idiots.

It's becomming increasingly true that I find helpful author/maintainers good, rather than unhelpful ones bad, :-(
