There are users however, and shouldn't it be your goal to make your
package as useable as it can be by as many users as possible -- taking
into account their feedback (no matter how combative it may seem to
the maintainer)?

Even if you don't consider "users" customers, the effects are the same.
People will go elsewhere to fufill their need.  And a packager that
says "whoop dee doo I don't care" maybe isn't the best maintainer for
that package. :)

Just my $0.02
