Fair question. The reason it's not been applied yet IMO is because  
none of the current committers are using LDAP and thus noboydy has  
taken the time to learn how to set up a LDAP environment and test the  
patch.

So what would help would be if you could apply the patch on a XWiki  
SVN trunk version and verify it works fine and doesn't break anything  
existing. Reporting that in the jira issue will help a lot and then  
one of the committer could more easily apply the patch.

Thanks for your proposal for help!
