I don't believe people are intentionally ignoring your contributions which
are appreciated; however, I disagree on one of your points.

"someone else" should not have to write the tests. You'll have a much easier
time (still not guaranteed) getting patches applied (or even looked at) if
tests are included. This isn't unique to ZF contributions -- try sending a
patch to the Doctrine project without a test :)

Put yourself in the shoes of the person searching the tracker for things to
close out. With ~1k tickets, what would you search for? Issues with or
without tests? Would you want to try to figure out what a contributor was
thinking by means of telepathy or by simply scanning the tests. BTW, I
promise that last statement wasn't meant to be flippant :) - I also hope
your contributions get a good look soon. Good luck.
