Now this is funny, I have many people tell me I shouldn't bother wasting
my time discussing with you, but here I am again...

So? Look around, the world includes more than just you, there are many
patches waiting a week or more to get applied. I repeat: You are not
being singled out, you are not being ignored on purpose, it's just that
the committers and reviewers are overloaded. It's as simple as that,
nothing more.

Nevertheless other people in the same situation don't show your
attitude, how come?
I guesstimate that there are 10-20 approved but unapplied FFmpeg patches
in my mailbox alone, most of them waiting far longer than a week.
Sending polite reminders that a patch is approved but possibly forgotten
is welcome, bitching is going to achieve the opposite of what you intend
it to achieve.
