Difficulties getting patch reviewed

[Daniel Drake <dsd laptop org>]

Hi,

Sugar recently switched to metacity as its window manager. There are
some rough edges left to be solved.

I wrote a relatively simple metacity patch which fixes one of these:
Sugar needs the ability to disable the alt-tab handler so that it can
implement its own. metacity already has a "disable-keybindings"
command but it is soft; it doesn't actually unbind the keys from X. So
I wrote a small patch to make that happen.

Posted here on March 2nd:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643682

Having not heard anything, I emailed the maintainer on March 8th,
politely asking for a review - no response.

Still having not heard anything, I sent a mail to desktop-devel-list
on 17th March asking if anyone else could review it, the maintainer
replied apologetically saying he'd look at it that evening.

After that, still having not heard anything, I sent a followup
reminder mail to the maintainer and desktop-devel-list on April 8th.
No response.

Noting that another developer has since made a metacity release I
mailed him on April 28th asking for a review - no response.

Now we're more than 2 months after submission of a relatively simple
patch. What would other contributors do in this situation?

Thanks,
Daniel
