I'm not ignoring the bug tracker, I just don't have time to work on
stable currently.

I understand your problem. Some thoughts:

The only way to have the OE community to maintain .stable, is to have
the OE community use it. Currently, we are in a chicken and egg
situation there.

Personally, I do not have the time to maintain .stable, but I will
probably use the next stable branch and maintain it.

Telling people to report problems to the bugtracker is sane, whether
we have a stable branch or not.

Maintaining recipes that are _cvs or _svn are not feature freeze.
Stable does not match with the SCM versions and should not be chosen
in any stable distro.
