So this is a completely debugged bug in a well-maintained subsystem

The problem is that the other 1600 open bugs aren't in this state.
That's one of the problems: Unmaintained subsystems.
Since you stepped down as serial maintainer (and it's your right as
maintainer to do so), the serial subsystem is unmaintained.
That's exactly where Linus' "drop any bug reports that are more than a
week old" suggestion is completely flawed - no matter what the submitter
does, how often he tests latest kernels, noone will help him.
New subsystems always get default owners like
drivers_ieee1394@kernel-bugs.osdl.org, and people interested in such
bugs can edit their preferences to watching all (pseudo) users in whose
bugs they are interested. drivers_serial@kernel-bugs.osdl.org [1] would
be the logical defult owner.
