Comment 6 for bug 195258

To repeat myself: is anything going to be done about this bug?

I went to the trouble of reporting the bug and making patches in the first place because a lot of the hype surrounding Ubuntu is about its community, and I thought a simple bug report, accompanied by a patch, would (at the very least) not be ignored by the package maintainer.

At this point -- five months after the initial report -- I can't help but wonder if Ubuntu is more cathedral than bazaar. Am I expected to show up to church on Sunday and listen -- install the releases every April and October -- or can I spread out a blanket at the market and hawk my patches and bug reports, and feel like my contributions are welcome?
