I don't like getting patches that go only halfway, making things work better for some people but at the same time breaking things for others, without following thorough for a long time, and that is regardless of where the patches came from. They linger on 'pu' forever and forces me to choose one of the three outcome: (1) discard it, even if it is promising; (2) make myself a janitor and filling the gap; (3) keep it on 'pu' even longer, while occassionally suffering merge conflicts with topics that touch the same textual area from more responsive people. I try to avoid (1) but I obviously don't want to do (2), especially when I know the topic originally came from a capable hand. If anything, the more promising the patch series that the original author didn't follow through, the worse it will make me feel to discard it. If you feel that I get grumpy about many of your patches not followed through than about other people's patches, perhaps it is a sign that I consider that the aim (not necessarily the execution) of your topics are better than the topics from others. So don't take it personally.
