Getting commit privileges is a social process.  You make yourself known, get
a reputation, etc.  Consensus among the project admins generally follows one
way or the other.  Right now, I think you're unknown here.

And how much feedback have you added to other peoples' patches and bug
reports?  It cuts in all directions.

Cool!  Asking for attention for the patches you've already submitted is a
good start.  Other ways to move it along include reviewing other peoples'
bugs and patches, helping with the web site, and contributing to discussions
here and on the spambayes list.

Sorry, I'm not in the prophecy business <wink>.  Nobody wants to be ignored,
but nobody works on this project except in their spare time either, so both
patience and persistence are necessary virtues.
