People get busy. For example, many prominent hackers spent most of the last week at various conferences. There are also other things happening less publicly that are claiming people's time.
Those prominent hackers are getting the benefit of me being one of the more prolific community question takers which lets them spend more time hacking. While I’m not entitled to anything I suggest you all consider that a failure to acknowledge my patch requests is frustrating enough for me that I’m about to just give up and walk away, leaving you all to deal with those user questions more frequently. The vast majority of emails get responses in some form with a day or so and lots of patches have gone in outside the commitfest process within days of initial reporting while I play by the rules and am a large contributor to the community but presently have 7 patches languishing in limbo, most without a single comment for or against.
This is just one of the more clear-cut ones that doesn’t even take a senior hacker to deal with and, frankly, whomever put in incremental backup should have seen the title and dealt with it immediately, even if I didn’t copy them, IMO.
