Ok.  Ian Jackson has found, patches to _some_ subsystems sent here
seem to be ignored by those able to commit them.  Even patches that
involved significant work and might be useful to many.

I don't think that's like it seems.  Every so often, there's a burst
of commits of reworked patches sent long earlier.  But it must be
confusing for the people sending patches here, and hard for them to
polish those patches, since they don't know if they should.

So how does one become a committer?
