FWIW, I've sent e-mails to maintainers that replied back and got around to updating their packages. You likely don't hear about these, as the requests (seldomly, anyway) come to this mailing list. It's true that I have more often not gotten a reply, but it does happen that I have.
We are talking about users who have been inactive for a more than a year, especially ones that have ignored flags/comments for a long time; have users really come back after a year or so just because you emailed them? -- Jonathan Steel
