is the maintainer still maintaining it?
I don't know, nor do I know how to find out. I have a hunch that he might not be working for SUSE/Novell anymore, but I may be completely wrong.
Does it matter? Should it matter?
of course, it matters!
Ok, that splits my question in three: a) How do I get my patch included if he is still maintaining it? b) How do I get my patch included if he isn't maintaining it anymore? c) How do I find out which of the two is the case? Which are, of course, instances of general questions about the way openSUSE want's to handle external contributions: a) What happens to contributions if a maintainer is so overburdened he or she doesn't even have the capacity to approve contributions that are otherwise ready for inclusion? b) What happens to contributions if a maintainer leaves? c) How can contributors find their responsible maintainer (or absence of same)?
