Sorry, it's nothing that you've said, and it's not meant to sound angry but
disillusioned. I think having a single maintainer only works when that person
communicates clearly with his developers. I've lost interest in trying to
guess what the trunk is for, what the status of the release is, why it hasn't
happened, or if it ever will.

I appreciate your advice, without it I couldn't have got the patch to work. As
it touches on core C code that I'm not very familiar with, I don't want to
commit it without some formal approval (or at least consensus) as it might be
disruptive to do so. Maybe Richard is too busy to comment, buts that's why it
would be a good idea to have a team of global maintainers. There are many on
this list, yourself included, who, given the opportunity, could clearly do that
job.
