IMHO the difference between your and Marcs observations is a different
point of view. Looking at all patches in a certain timeframe you are
right. However, the bugs of the maintainers with rather too less time
tend to stay much longer, and if you look only at the maintainers with
aged bugs tagged patch than you will certainly get a different
picture. So, Marcs observation is also true. And if trying to do QA
one certainly look at the worse maintained packages first, as there is
less need for the good maintained ones.
So, nobody is complaining about the way you integrate patches into
your packages (and the same is valid for most other maintainers that
are discussing here).
Cheers,
Andi
