It's been a while! No, it's not the way it is supposed to work, but in the real world, it often is the way it does. And, since this is a volunteer operation, around the time of Saturnalia, when so many are away or busy with families celebrating Christmas and the new year, it can get pretty slow trying to get a bit of time from a committer. In this case it took a month after the maintainer approved the fix before a committer picked it up. Now that the committer has it, it will likely actually get committed as soon as tjil gets back to work. (He picked it up on Friday.) -- R.
