I'm subscribed to exim4's PTS for about 3 years now and I have never
seen any evidence of arrogant and non listening attitude from the
exim4 package mainainers.

I personnally consider the exim4 package well maintained with
maintainers listening to bug reports, opened to discussion and using
their maintainer's prerogatives only when needed. 

The only thing that's missing them is more manpower to even better
deal with bugs, probably clean out the BTS and be able to conduct more
disruptive changes if they're needed. This is indeed a very common
problem for most core packages in Debian but there are many packages
which need more manpower much more than exim4.

I find this bug report pretty offensive to exim4 maintainers who are
doing are tremendous job.
