If people want proof that we have had some patches for months, this

I don't think anyone (at least sanely) questions that there are patches
hanging out there.
My point is that pushing them for 8.4 effectively doesn't move us
forward because we have been "pushing" for a while.
Hmm, I don't agree..
Two steps forward, one step back.
You are still going forward.
And you can't blame tracking because everyone knows what has to happen.
I am not blaming the tracker, the tracker is only part of the equation.
IMO this particular problem is about a lot of people wanting to eat ice
cream without doing their chores first.
All due respect to all the great developers that submitted patches but
they submitted all of these features and have reviewed few of the patches.
If the developers were to actually take a step back and say, "Hey...
instead of working on these dozen different features, I should work on
three and help someone review another three..." We wouldn't have this
problem.
Tom said it best (incomplete quote) a lot of people tried to run before
they could walk.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

All have been awaiting review for at least a month (though in one case
the latest version is quite recent). They probably ought to be on the
hold queue; all are ready to be reviewed for final
application/rejection.
I'd hasten to add that none of those are mine. My patches have received
good attention, so I'm not complaining just completing admin.
