As far as I can tell, you have submitted 3 PRs.  Two of your
suggestions have been incorporated into FreeBSD, the other one is
still new.

% query-pr -O paetzel --summary
   28970 freebsd- docs     closed    non-criti low      current-us Handbook fix for section 4.3.1
   60370 ale      docs     closed    non-criti low      current-us [patch] Clarification of textproc/docproj* ports in fdp-primer
   73760 freebsd- docs     open      non-criti low      current-us [patch] 5.3-RELEASE and possibly older 5.x systems need 3 floppies to boot the installer

You may have made suggestions in other ways, but submitting a PR is
the best way to ensure that your ideas don't get forgotten about.

It's only four days old, so I wouldn't say it's being ignored.  I know
that waiting for your hard work to find its way into FreeBSD can feel
frustrating, though.
