Patches languishing on Trac is a real problem. The issue here is not at all about not wanting those patches, but just about the overhead of getting them reviewed/fixed/committed. This problem has more or less disappeared with Github; there are very few PRs that are just sitting there. As for existing patches on Trac, if you or anyone else has an interest in one of them, checking that patch for test coverage / documentation and resubmitting it as a PR would be a massive help. Ralf
