Nextcloud is an open source project backed by Nextcloud GmbH. Most of our volunteers are home users and thus primarily care about issues that affect home users. Our paid engineers prioritize issues of our customers. If you are neither a home user nor a customer, consider paying somebody to fix your issue, do it yourself or become a customer.
Please understand that at the moment, we are very busy with customer issues and some high priority development work. A lot of issues are getting reported. We can't always keep up and timely respond to all of them, but we try!
