Unfortunately, it may take any time between a day and five years, see

The curses module is largely unmaintained; nobody is really responsible
for it (my feeling is that it also has fairly few users). Use "svn log"
to find out what people have been making changes over time; if the
commit messages indicate that they had applied patches from the bug
tracker, also try to recognize any regular non-commit contributors.
