That's unfair. You posted the patch on the bug, got review and
it got pushed as per bugzilla proceedure. I wouldn't call doing
one ping on the list noting it'd already gone into 4.0.0rc having
to "whine" to get it in. I was already tracking this patch (which
is why it was still in my inbox) to ensure it got in.

Note you didn't ask anyone in particular to review, just posted
to the list. If you had explicitly sent to someone requesting
review then I know (at least for me) it would have gotten in
faster.

As soon as you raised this on the list (even without asking
a perticular person) it got pushed. I don't think that's too
bad IMHO.

Note I have an outstanding patch also waiting a push - but
this is because I explicitly requested vl to look at it and
he and I are still discussing this in private email.

Jeremy.
