The ticket is only 2 weeks old! That's not so old for a project with all-volunteer developers, really. Also, the ticket got some attention shortly after it was opened. Russell noted it needed a test minimally to demonstrate the problem, ideally that integrated into the test suite. That might have been provided by the updated patch but that is not clear since the flags for "patch needs improvement" and "needs tests" were not turned off. If you've got a patch that you think addresses the reason for "patch needs improvement" and "needs tests" it's best to reset the flags when you attach it, otherwise the ticket continues to look like it's not a candidate for an easily-evaluated-and-committed fix.
