while doing some bugzilla maintenance yesterday, i noticed that there
are quite a few patches sitting there by wyona employees:

these were probably written on company time, presumably to fix customer
problems. so why haven't they been applied? i am trying to understand
why the submitters of those patches did not make more of an effort to
get these committed?
don't get me wrong; i am very glad to see people submitting fixes (and
getting paid to do so). but i am wondering: why bother fixing these
problems when they then end up rotting away in bugzilla?
if i were in their shoes, i would ask on the mailing list to have those
committed, or else ask one of my coworkers to commit them for me.
any insight into this dynamic welcome.
yeah, bugzilla can be a tar-pit for patches sometimes.
perhaps lenya needs more committers? maybe we could use a couple of
"janitors" - people with commit rights who mostly do clean-up work and
post more intrusive changes for review prior to committing them...
