It would seem that when a patch is ready then the comitters have a responsibility to review and commit, as far as clearing off thier desk, so to speak.
However if a issue is open but no patch then either a discussion between interested parties and/or a patch is the goal. Since this is not a business but a community it seems the time line for a particular jira could spans months or years, till interested parties are attracted, or the person that opened it becomes familiar enough to submit on their own.
