I mean that if you flood them with forum posts by users happy to post
all their lives into the bridge devs will add a rule to drop
automatically everything coming from the forum (and grunt about wasted
bandwidth)

And if they dont use the rule approach they will simply unsuscribe...
you will not force devs to cooperate... you will not have them cooperate
without making big efforts to filter topics they don't want to see.

They are skilled enough to make all your efforts to force them useless
however hard you try.

And the global community (all contrib and users included) is to have
devs employed to tasks they alone are able to do :)

So this is *also* in the best users interest to avoid bothering devs
with useless mail reading or questions that support or advanced users
can perfectly deal with :)
