This doesn't surprise me at all. Many users submit patches for issues they encounter, but for one reason or another, no committer action ever happens. There are many possible reasons. 1) The patch has bugs or some other problem that makes it unacceptable. 2) When the issue/patch is reviewed, one of these situations exists: a) Committers don't think it's worth pursuing. b) The code is behaving as designed. c) The committer cannot reproduce the problem. d) The committer doesn't understand the problem. e) The committer doesn't think it's actually a problem. f) A workaround exists that is just as effective as the patch. 3) Nobody has had time to review the issue/patch. In some of these situations, the reviewing committer should probably close the issue with an appropriate reason ... but issue triage is a difficult and unrewarding job. Sometimes it just doesn't happen.
