How do committers recommend that patch contributors (like me) get their patches 
committed?  At the moment I'm thinking of this one:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2535
This is a regression bug. I found the bug, I added a patch which fixes the bug 
and tested that it was fixed.  The tests are actually new tests that tested 
code that wasn't tested before.  I put the "fix version" in JIRA as 3.3 at the 
time I did this, because it was ready to go.  Well 3.3 came and went, and the 
version got bumped to 3.4.  There are no processes in place for committers to 
recognize completed patches.  I think that's a problem.  It's very 
discouraging, as the contributor.  I think prior to a release and ideally at 
other occasions, issues assigned to the next release number should actually be 
examined.    Granted there are ~250 of them on the Solr side: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+SOLR+AND+resolution+%3D+Unresolved+AND+fixVersion+%3D+12316683+ORDER+BY+priority+DESC
 And some initial triage could separate the wheat from the chaff.
