Acceptance of patches

[Jochen Wiedmann]

Hi,

it is quite some weeks since I have posted a patch for
a bug that makes TomCat's getWriter().flush() method
completely unusable. (Perhaps in standalone method
only.) I have also submitted a bug report (#1802).

Since then I have never received a reply and the bug
report is still in the state "NEW". That makes me
wonder what good my patch is for? Did I miss some
policy guideline? Or what else is wrong?

Thanks,

Jochen
