Good to hear the patch was applied.  I just submitted another patch, #5296 that improves the unit test more so as to not break on Oracle, and fixes the add_column on Postgresql 8 when there is data in the table and new column is non-null.

1) What's the normal period from when a patch is submitted to when it is
reviewed or committed?

Depends. Some patches are well-tested, their motivation instantly
appeal to the reviewer, and their impact is small and well understood.
These patches are usually applied as soon as they're discovered.
Patches that deviate in some form or another from those properties can
take all from a little while, to a long time, to never to get applied.

2) if #1 happens, my patch to the unit test might reveal bugs in other
adapters besides sqlite3, so how would that be handled?

Usually people responsible for these adapters will either make a patch
of their own or raise the issue here.

I really like the idea of migrations and would love to see the stability of
them improved.

Excellent. Please do keep working. Your patch was applied, btw.
