I strongly disagreed with hemant. i recently just got a patch in without
using any twitter DM, personal email or the guarded campfire chat room.

If you are serious about your patch, try to ask rubyist around you to check
out your patch and comment about it on the Lighthouse ticket. Remember,
Rails is shaped by the community. If you want the core team to pay attention
to your patch, ask people around this community to comment or check out your
patch. If enough people do, the core team will start paying attention to
your patch because they know that your patch is something people want.

You have to remember that most of the people in Rails Core team have proper
jobs, they are not free and cheap programmers who always hang around on
mailing list/IRC just to reply to patch requests.
