I agree that some patches become invalid after some time, and they should be closed by the person who reported it. But what should we do if we want to keep a patch alive? Shall we post "ping" messages to the bug report? I know everybody has work to do, and it is impolite to spam the developer mailing list with "I want a review" messages every day just to keep a patch alive. My suggestion: After two weeks, a rewiever should post an "Is it still valid?" message to the bug report. If there is no answer within a week to this question, I think it is ok to deny that patch.
