If they filed bugs and got impatient, I'd understand. This blog post is the first I've heard of this particular idea though. Your bugs are good ones and should be addressed. I will try to do an update soon. FYI, if you want a patch approved, you should flag it for review (and make sure it follows the style guide), your patch would have been noticed much sooner had you flagged it.

(I know you won't like this, but it sort of validates Google's approach. By making a big splash about this, they accomplish far more than they would have by filing bugs and waiting, or contacting you directly.) > FYI, if you want a patch approved, you should flag it for review Funnily enough, we're dealing with problems like this at Mozilla too - a contribution comes in, but is missed because the review flag isn't set, or it needs work, or whatever. We're adding dashboards and metrics and things to avoid this happening at Mozilla - and it happens a lot. I'll mark them for review now.
