Re: Developers, please don't ignore reported GWT issues.

Some time ago I stepped into the issue lifecycle wiki page.

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/BugTriageProcess
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/ManagingMerges

Maybe this can clarify some things about why issues are not updated
(looks like most of times this is an expected behavior).
And yes, I agree this information should be more visible to people
reporting issues :-)

Lorenzo
