I think that's what he's saying.
BMD definitely watches these forums for bugs, and acts on them as quickly as they can, when they can. The 16.2.3 patch included a fix for a small issue that I brought up in a forum post less than a month after I mentioned it:
https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=114958.
Of course, some things are easy to fix, and other things take more time, and really deep integrations like Fusion/Resolve stereoscopic need to satisfy a cost analysis on a longer timeline, and so it is very important for users to speak up.

I feel like there's a terrible miscommunication happening here. I don't think Andrew's telling you to go away, I think he's inviting you to participate. The wesuckless forum is a Fusion "home away from home," so to speak, and existed before BlackMagic acquired Eyeon. He and Brian are very generous, very knowledgable, hard-working volunteers who are passionate about the community. I'm a nobody, but I've been along for the Resolve ride since version 9, and I'm also a strong advocate for its success.
My point is that if BMD listens to little guys like ME, and you've got heavyweights like Brian and Andrew willing to help, and if you can exercise a little patience when it comes to the idiosyncrasies of a rapidly-evolving software suite, then you're welcome to ride along, help out, contribute, ask questions, and make suggestions like we all do. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised that A) BMD listens, even if they don't respond and B) the community is very supportive.
As far as the SVG's go, it looks like since Derek's been in communication with the DEV team, they're working on it, and we'll see a patch as soon as they can.
