If you'd like to view it that way, ok.  Except regression can be fixed
by adapting to the change.

Yes, I do know that.  I said Ralf was the only person to "publicly
refuse to do so".  If others haven't spoken up, then they aren't
publicly refusing to do so.

Now, to address what you're really trying to point out, yes there
certainly may be cases where maintainers simply don't know.  That is one
of the driving reasons I started this thread to being with.  So far,
it's actually working quite well.  Several of the issues that were on
the report have been fixed and as soon as rawhide materializes again
I'll send out an updated one.
