I've submitted patches some weeks ago against their CVS tree and I got
reply after 3 or 4 weeks. Might be a problem due to the fact that not
all programmers touch every leaf in the tree - something similar to
what happens in the Linux kernel. It could be better, sure, but I
think this is a common problem on FOSS projects where developers are
hobbists.
