It has been, yes.
I was looking when Micheal reported a few bugs (after my prodding) to
get a few build issues solved (actual FTBFS when building with specific
build flags). Even those bug reports were completely ignored with no
answer whatsoever; the patches also ignored.
I'm led to believe the chromium team is not really playing with the
community at all, rather they are just following their internal bug
tracker instead.
Likewise, they are obviously not interested in supporting anything that
is not the official Google Chrome build (if it can even said they are "supoprting" that).
I note that Steinar Gunderson [1] is now employed by Google to work on Chrome, so maybe there could be hope talking to him?

It's right that I'm just joining the Chromium team, although probably not in an area that is interesting to you (Style & Font). (And of course, I don't really have a say in anything yet, and I don't know anyone yet :-) )
I don't have the context here; what specifically is it that you're interested in getting fixed?
Obviously I cannot promise anything here; I'm currently even more in the dark
than you. :-) But if there's a list of relevant bugs somewhere, I at least have a place to try to understand the issues at hand.
PS: I have included Mattia Rizzolo, Michael Gilbert and the Debian Chromium Team directly in the recipients, to be sure they see this email. I do hope you all do not mind.
So you being a DD and soon at work on Chromium the hope was that maybe you could conduct some of upstream love to care about the world outside of
Google (?), here in particular Debian's effort to provide Chromium to its users... to help that effort.
