Rather than indicating apathy on the party of third party developers, this might be a sign that core Python is unapproachable or not worth the effort. For instance I have several one line patches languishing, I can't imagine how disappointing it would be to have significantly larger patches ignored, but it happens.

Can you give a pointer to these one-liners? Once a patch gets a month old or older, it tends to disappear from everyone's radar unless you somehow "ping" on the tracker, or post a message to the mailing-list.

(of course, you shouldn't spam the list with open issues either)

Thanks

Antoine.
