Is this request still open?

I'm really not sure what "keeping a mailbox around" entails, but I've
been trying to keep track of patches coming in and being applied or not
over the last few weeks or so (I currently know of about 25 apparently
unapplied and unrejected just since the 11th), and while it's awkward
and unwieldy and I *know* that I tend to take on projects and then let
them slide for an indefinite period (occasionally forever) so it might
not be the best idea... while all of that is true, I do think I might be
able to give it a go.
