I'm sorry if you submitted a patch in the past that wasn't reviewed as quickly as you hoped, or didn't go as smoothly as you wished, but we do try and make sure that what goes into the repository is good stuff.

I apologise profusely -- I didn't intend to send that to the whole list, only to encourage James, who has clearly spent a lot of time on this. I have seen plenty of great patches (not specifically on this project) that started off well but never went anywhere due to lack of perseverance from the contributor. Of course the discussion is absolutely necessary, you are entirely correct. Sorry again for the drama. :-(
