No, actually they have not been ignored.  Judging by responses from Elecraft 
personnel, they have been taken seriously.  They have, however, been turned 
down, in my opinion for very good reason (which I won't repeat at this point).

It is up to Elecraft to decide how they will support their products, and this is 
what they've done -- quite effectively, too.

I have been a member of many mailing lists for I don't know how many years, and 
I find that this one runs quite smoothly with just enough application of control 
by the moderator to keep it on track.  In fact, it is probably the best forum of 
its type that I've encountered, period.
