Why are you ignoring my patch? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Don't worry: We're not ignoring you! + +It's important to understand there is a difference between "a ticket is being +ignored" and "a ticket has not been attended to yet." Django's ticket system +contains hundreds of open tickets, of various degrees of impact on end-user +functionality, and Django's developers have to review and prioritize. + +Besides, if your feature request stands no chance of inclusion in Django, we +won't ignore it -- we'll just close the ticket. So if your ticket is still +open, it doesn't mean we're ignoring you; it just means we haven't had time to +look at it yet.
