Once you think you've built up some community support and the patchset is ready for review, you (or any interested party) can resurrect the patch entry by visiting
and changing the status to "Needs Review", and then changing the status again to "Move to next CF". (Don't forget the second step; hopefully we will have streamlined this in the near future!)
This patch was returned due to 'lack of interest'. However, upon verification, it appears that the reported issue still exists, and the proposed fix in the thread remains valid. Hence, resurrect this patch after rebasing it on master. I've also written a detailed commit message which hopefully can help people review the changes more effectively.
