I see the patch generated a couple of responses on the list when it
was posted, including a plan to follow up with a detailed review that
appears not to have happened. It's unfortunate, and as a project we
definitely have an issue that not all contributions are addressed in a
timely manner.

One of the goals of the Git working group, and Warner's newer
development practices working group, is to make it easier to handle
contributions. Of course contributions can be overlooked regardless of
whether they're patches on a mailing list, attached to a Bugzilla PR,
opened as a Phabricator review, or as a GitHub or Gitlab pull or merge
request. There isn't a technical solution that will fully address
this, but we can reduce friction as much as possible.
