That's because those who get their patches accepted quickly never complain. They are still the majority, though. In case of Titus Brown (who complained in his blog), I found that all of his 5 patches got integrated into Python, me committing four of them, and Georg committing one. Response time was between 3 days and 16 months. > This discussion started because the feeling was expressed that it was > difficult to get patches accepted and that new core developers were not being > found.

Not sure how long you have been contributing to free software: you will find, over time, that it is rewarding to get changes accepted even if the process takes several months. Patience is an important quality here.
