Apparently, or really? Did you review the patch?

No. The bug report showed that others had already tried it and said it worked; and also, I don't consider myself qualified to review that particular patch.

It's fairly simple: just read through the issue, and it should be obvious. In the specific case, no committer has ever commented on the issue, so chances are high that no committer has ever seen the issue.

Okay, so not obvious to someone (like me) who doesn't immediately know who is or is not a committer. Thanks for the clarification.

And likely, posting to the issue won't be a way to find out, since no committer would see your comment.

I'll take that as confirmation that asking in this forum is the right procedure.
