Exactly, and we're talking about core patches. Most active contrib development is happening in Drupal 6, I generally don't see many patches posted for Drupal 4.7 versions of contrib modules, or even Drupal 5 depending on which module it is.
We were? (talking about core patches?) I don't see that in this thread. We were talking about all patches, as far as I could tell. The arguments are indeed very different for core and contrib. I was positing primarily about contrib, since that's where most of the need is. Still, there is a problem with core issue queues languishing, too. I can't remember the last time I posted a patch to core; it's become too hard for me to contribute meaningful new core code and get attention to it.
