Firstly, no "automated response" is sent by Stack Exchange when you submit tickets in the contact page. [This][1] was said by SE staff:

>  	When you reach out through Contact Us, [you receive the following confirmation message][2]. Sending a followup email that just echoes that seems redundant and not particularly any more convincing.

> I suspect this is broken. Can someone look into this please?

Did you see any image like this after pressing submit:

[![enter image description here][2]][2]

If you did see something like this, it is not broken :)

[The users of Ask Ubuntu][3] and [the moderators of Ask Ubuntu][4] cannot answer your question because we do not have access to the things which you have sent to Stack Exchange through [the contact page][5]. Only Stack Exchange staff have access to it. 

Yup, it is the wrong place to post this. Maybe you can post this in Meta Stack Exchange, but I am not 100% sure.

> It is now five weeks after I asked this question and there is NO response. Is there anyone who actually READS this forum? Is there a different place I should ask this question? Perhaps "Ask Ubuntu Meta Meta" exists?

I am sorry as no one responded to your post. Generally, the users of Ask Ubuntu or the moderators of Ask Ubuntu post an answer or add a comment. Maybe they missed your post or did not know what to say to you.

There is no "*Ask Ubuntu Meta Meta*". You can try to talk to [Community Manager][6]s in chatrooms. [They][7] are mostly there in [Meta Stack Exchange chatrooms][8]. But there's no guarantee that they will reply to you.
