i appreciate all that but, at the same time, if i'm *encouraged* to
submit patches, and i *submit* patches, i eventually need some
feedback to understand that those patches are going to be acted upon
at some point.  otherwise, i start losing interest in submitting.

and, as i mentioned, given that there is now a target date for the
next release, this would seem to be the perfect time to work through
that backlog and deal with all outstanding submitted patches, one way
or the other.
