From past experience, I think that telling people to wait a few weeks before resubmitting it not realistic. If they don't get an answer within 3-4 days, chances are they won't get an answer at all, and they should ping us again...
Maybe a small online interface for proposing patches (and not losing them) would bring some order to this mess, but then again, it may be an overkill.
