With Apache there is *no maintainer*, in the sense that some code /
component is to be maintained be a single individual. Its *all* to be
maintained by *anyone*. So anyone who fancy can help, and the guys
that do this more often, can become committers etc. Though of course
the Camel team is in general maintaining all the code also. But again,
anyone who want to help can do so. We love contributions.

CAMEL-7908 is only reported 2 weeks ago. And CAMEL-7950 is less than 2
weeks. That is frankly not very long time.

And in this time we have closed down on getting 2.12.x and 2.13.x
patch releases out, and thus focus on getting bugs affected those in
that release.

If you want faster reaction, then some of the committers work for
companies that offers professional services around Apache Camel. So
you can use that to get faster attention.

Frankly just keep what you do report issues with patches. And use the
mailing list is also a good idea, as more people read and participate
on mails than a ticket in JIRA. (especially user mailing list).
