Um, if they're not reading -patches, why would they think the feature
had been accepted, or even submitted? In any case, when we reject a
patch, it's not usually a conclusion that will get reversed just because
more people are involved in the discussion. The people who might
actually be able to *fix* the patch are probably reading -patches.
