You have seen the process for acceptance, with the exception of the "OK,
applied!" exchange that happens at the end. That is because we have not
quite released 7.2, and the source tree is essentially frozen for the
next month or so.
btw, it *may* be premature to assume that your patches are completely
accepted yet, since none of us are very focused on new features at this
moment.
If you had submitted patches three months ago, they would be in the 7.2
release ;)
