Hello Xiaoyu,

Your interaction with the developers will happen through your bug report 
just as it did with our bug report handling team. If they need any 
details or if they need to engage with you again that is where they will 
contact you.


As to the integration of your fix into our code... that gets more 
complicated. There may be edge cases or use cases that need us to modify 
your code to handle. Sometimes these are found as the developer applies 
your patch to our code, sometimes with post-build unit testing, 
sometimes only after full integration testing.


And when that work may start depends on when a developer is scheduled to 
work on the specific bug you designed the patch for. So it could be a 
while.


Thank you very much for helping MySQL to become a better product!
