I would certainly not call it "normal", but it definitely has been "usual", unfortunately. One issue is that multiprocessing is a complicated module which has delicate interaction with the system. So it's not the kind of module that all core developers can confidently merge patches to. The multiprocessing maintainers (me, Davin Potts) have been fairly inactive recently. I'm trying to do a review from time to time - also on concurrent.futures - but it's usually low on my priority list. Feel free to ping me on a PR (@pitrou) if you think that it's ready for a core developer review.
