Yep. And, actually, it appears that only one of those, 609807, included something like a patch... and that one just hasn't been responded to. The other two were requests for the maintainer to do work which were rejected, and thus don't really tell us whether an offered patch would have been accepted or rejected. > Of course the participants in the discussion were approaching the > discussion on the basis that they are arguing about what the assumed > single menu system should be like.
