Maybe a new status is appropriate ... I would suggest "Stalled". Such a
patch still applies and has no pending feedback, but nobody seems
interested. Making a patch no longer stalled means there's discussion
that leads to:

1. further development? Perhaps the author just needed more direction.
2. a decision that it's not a feature we want, or maybe not in this
form. Then we close it as rejected.
3. a reviewer/committer finding time to provide additional feedback.
