    Bug get filed in bugzilla.abisource.com, not
    mailingliss. Also, there are various VI keybindings
    problems already filed in bugzilla, so many of these
    might be duplicates. Finally, no one is currently
    interested in maintaining the VI keybindings code, so
    I wouldn't expect any fixes in this area for quite
    some time.
