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? -- Jamie (*) Or I noticed sometimes dismissed by a terse response.
