I think someone at mozilla.org really needs to think about how important 
it is to them to get external contributions to Mozilla. I've been using 
Mozilla nightlies for ages, and a while ago switched to compiling my own 
builds, with the intention of contributing by fixing the occasional bug. 
I saw a bug that scratched my itch and submitted a patch 
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49164). That was over two 
months ago, and the patch hasn't been checked in, in spite of being 
reviewed as OK. I've seen mentions of plenty of other bugs in this same 
situation (there are over 1100 bugs flagged with the patch keyword, but 
not all of those are "stale"). What kind of message is this is sending 
to potential contributors?


Cheers,
        Len.
