I share your view here, and in fact the code for the patch has been
updated in only two ways since 1/15: adding support for new commands and
reacting to review (refactoring, cleaning, features removal, fix the
glitch). That's the reason why I can see we're very near the end of it,
the code churn is about to be over now.

Yeah, I'd like to get back reviewing soon too, obviously I've been
somehow more busy than expected.

It seems like February has seen lots of participants distracted away
from the commit fest, we should probably take this into account.
