I'm puzzled by this rationale.
Yes, there has been no activity for a full year, but it looks like this is
simply a consequence of MTL not having an active maintainer who can review
and apply Bas's patch. I don't see how it follows that people are no
longer interested in this proposal.
Since maintainer approval of patches is the final step in ''any''
proposal, this policy combined with the absence of an active MTL
maintainer implies that ''all'' proposed MTL improvements, no matter how
widely supported or soundly implemented in a patch, will inevitably
receive the dreaded "wonfix, abandoned" classificiation. Needless to say
this seems terribly cynical, so surely this can't be the intent?
