So 31 submitted patches/feature requests were basically ignored in the past year and a half? How can this situation be improved? Is there going to be a commitment to monitor this new ticketing system? How many patches and more feature requests will need to be reconciled 18 months from now?

Hello,
I am trying to reconcile patches and improvement suggestions that have been left unanswered on the mailing lists. I went through serusers and serdev mailing list archives from the beginning of 2004 till now.
I was mainly focusing on submitted patches and non-trivial feature requests. Below is a list of issues that I was able to find in the mailing list archives. Given the number of messages that were sent to the lists in the last year I am pretty sure that the list below will miss many suggestions.
If you submitted a patch or improvement and it was neither accepted nor rejected, and it is still relevant, please resubmit your proposal to serdev@lists.iptel.org mailing list or (preferably) create an issue in the bug tracking system at:
Please re-submit also improvements sent in individual messages to developers.
Summary -------
When it comes to accepting improvements, there surely is space for improvements but the situation, in my opinion, is not as bad as it may seem from the recent discussions. Properly reported bugs get usualy fixed quickly. The more detailed description the faster the fix, so I think there are no big problems with that.
The list at the end of this message contains patches and feature requests that I was able to find in the archives. From the list the following issues have not yet been closed:
1, 4, 7, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31
And from those only 1, 4, 18, 21, 22, 25, 31 contained patches that have been left unanswered. That 7 patches which still need to be processed.
The following patches have in my opinion low importance:
1 - date header in REGISTER replies 18 - radius fix for acc 21 - check_to for digest credentials without database
The following patches can be classified as important:
4 - AVP support in acc 22 - transactional auth replies 25 - Free TLS 31 - Xten improvements of pa
In addition to that there are the following improvement suggestions which did not contain any patches: 7, 19, 23, 24
So I was able to find 4 important and 3 less important patches that were not integrated in the last 1.5 year from the 31 items below. Also I created issues in the bug tracking system for all items below that are not yet closed.
The winner among them in terms of e-mail volume is free TLS, of course.

PS: Code back-porting is another issue and is not covered here.

No, only 7 patches (as far as I can see) were not commited. Many of them simply disappeared in the noise of the mailing lists, imho. Most of the 31 items were closed and I list them for sake of completeness.
