theora screencasting not working in F12

In all the announcements I read boasting how Thusnelda [1] (codename 
for the new version of Theora) is available in F12. It seems to me
a little weird that nobody checked that it really works. From my
experience, all major theora screencasting apps (recordmydesktop and
istanbul) are broken. Recordmydesktop records one frame in several 
seconds, istanbul records in disgusting quality. This is not what I
expect when I read those glorious announcements. I have reported a bug
about it [2]. Problem is nobody notices the bug also :)

So, I'm just curious, do you have some advice how to draw attention
to a particular bug the right people, except from reporting it into
bugzilla and waiting perhaps months or years? I mean it for this issue
but I also mean it generally for other (future) issues. Give me a hint
if you have some. Thanks!
