No, it just provides a web-based interface to what is handled via mailing lists. It's just as easy for a maintainer to get busy and not ack a patch submission on a web-based system as well. I suspect that this is an 8xx-specific problem. The source of the problem is that 8xx has been undermaintained for some time and it only recently has gained a new maintainer. -Matt
