This is the right place for bug reports against released versions of
Emacs. Bugs against the CVS should go to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.
M-x report-emacs-bug always does the right thing.

I'm sorry if you feel you haven't had much feedback. Developers
certainly do read this list, and bug reports are certainly
appreciated. It can sometimes take a while for them to get looked at
though. I'm speaking as a maintainer rather than a developer, so take
my words with a grain of salt.

It does in fact call the hook, as you can test by adding a message
and sit-for combo, for example. The define-derived-mode macro takes
care of constructing a hook variable and running it.
