Hi Daniel, Thanks for contributing these patches and sorry for not being able to respond to these patches timely.
The problem is that right now we have no one working on the open-source protobuf project. You can see from the svn change history that very few patches are applied to the repository since last release and all of them are just trivial changes. We don't have time to work on an open-source release until the team decide to prioritize it over other stuff we are currently doing. For issues in the bug tracker, we'll fix all "accepted" ones in the next release. If the status remains "New", that means the issue needs more consideration (not that we won't fix it in the next release, but just that we haven't made a decision right now). According to our yearly plan for 2014, we'll start to work on the next open-source release in Q2. If you want a patch to be submitted sooner, you can send it to https://codereview.appspot.com/ (e.g., https://codereview.appspot.com/63480043/). We'll discuss/review the code there and help apply the patch after LGTM.
