I can feel your pain that your (only) patch was unreviewed for three years. If it makes you happy to blame somebody feel free to, but I feel it is unfair to blame the single person that eventually *did* review and commit your patch. You may ask yourself why this specific patch was unreviewed for so long. My own explanation is that it is a highly complicated algorithm (as any kind of cryptographical algorithm), so nobody felt qualified to review it. I'm pretty sure it was *looked at* often (contrary to your remark in [1]), but none of the people reading it were qualified to comment. So if you want to work on encryption still, please go ahead.
