Yes, if you don't count the last 2 patches, it is more close to 3 years 
now ;)

Since the patches were not being updated. I started maintaining an 
alternate repository where I am putting all the bugs reported at SUSE:

https://github.com/goldwynr/ocfs2-tools

Branch suse-fixes has the fixes found by SUSE over the "upstream" branch.

Branch nocontrold has the patches for the feature of doing away with 
ocfs2_controld to work with the latest corosync/pacemaker stack. Patches 
for the kernel are already in the kernel but the ones in the tools need 
some review.

I had a mail conversation with Srini and he has promised to update the 
upstream branch soon.

Regards,
