Well, all he did was to point out a "bug" within that FAQ.
You can't expect everyone who does so to start actively
working on a project.
It's certainly helpful for FAQ maintainers and readers to
get this fixed, it just took a while to discuss who's responsible ;-)
As outlined the LessTif developers are responsible (if at all ...)
only for the stuff which is on LessTif web sites. Any third-party docs
or packages are maintained by other people and so one should
report there.
