As someone who has tried to get a patch merged for over one year now, my
experience is a bit different. Only a few people seem to react on pull requests
or mailing list at all, look at all the open GitHub PRs, that are open since
month.
There may be a lack of contributors but there seems to be even a greater lack
of maintainers and their time :-(
