How can you say "wrong." and then go on to say scale matters, that means scale is the problem, not who is reporting it, you contradicted yourself.

We're in agreement that it is a scale issue. When something needs to scale, you address the scale problem. Obviously the devs can't handle this volume, and I agree with that there too. Our disagreement is the response.

I guarantee that if they asked for volunteers they'll get at least 100 within a week. They can filter by previous bug triage experience and experience with C and the code base. My suggestion is to let people other than the devs triage bug reports, that will resolve the scale problem. curl devs never have to see a bug not triaged by a human they've vetted. There is also no requirement on their part to respond to a certain number of bug reports, so with or without help, they can let the stack pile up and it will still be better than nothing.
