There are a lot of patches (PRs) in the queue there. No one complains,
except you. It is your free choice. I personally see it as symbiosis.
And at some point of time someone picks up the patch works it out and it
either accepted or rejected.
There were situations where thorough research clearly showed that the
proposed patch did not solve the cause of the problem, but one specific
consequence - only hides the real cause of the problem. While the other
potential consequences would remain unresolved and would probably wait for
the next hack, which would again solve the individual consequences, not
the cause. While the author fundamentally refused any cooperation in
finding a real cause. As a result, real repairs of the causes of the
problems were merged instead of the proposed hack.
Such an approach has caused that for all other patches from such an author
now "local authority" must assume that this is again a hack. And because
of the knowledge of the fundamental unwillingness to cooperate, "local
authorities", of course, have little motivation to devote time and effort
to these patches. So yes, such patches have been waiting for a long time.
It is not surprising that "local authorities" prefer to pay attention to
the authors who repeatedly give good contributions and cooperate very
well. Such cooperation allows the project a good move forward. And we
thank all such contributors! Thanks to good contributions and good
cooperation, some have already become part of the Core team.
Cheers
