This doesn't show we are trying to repulse contributors, but that we failed
to merge patches in time once again. Not because of rising the bar too high -
these patches even passed our review process - but because no one bothered to
actually push the "commit" button.
I think the main problem is we don't have an actual "commit" button. This
makes it hard for core developers to grab a patch from trac, apply it
(possibly with some rebasing), test it and merge it. The plan with the switch
to git was to avoid all that mess, but we didn't really finish working on
that.
Improving the tools are the way to get out of this.
