To be blunt, that patch spent most of September in "waiting for author"
state.  Looking in the archives, I see that

* Original patch was posted on 31-Aug.

* I reviewed that patch on 8-Sep.

* You posted a revised patch on 10-Sep, but it was explicitly marked
as not ready to be actioned.

* It was not until 23-Sep that a patch was posted that you stated
you were happy with.

* I reviewed that one on 25-Sep.

* The patch now in the queue was posted on 30-Sep (all of 8 minutes
before midnight).

I don't see any systemic failure here.
        regards, tom lane
