Does somebody have idea how to get https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/166629/ merged?
13 months ago, the script already did all I needed; if pywikibot's requirements differ from mine, I'd like to know. I personally don't need the code merged, but I know other users for whom it would be a simplification to find it in the standard repository.

Hi Nemo,
it seems your problem is the same as reported in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134062 The pywikibot/core repository has been corrupted by the merge made the 27th of april. No merge is possible until the repository is fixed.
Kindly, Linedwell

Thanks Linedwell, but I'm talking of the underlying issue of the 13 months process, not of the specific incident of the day.
In general it's also true that pywikibot is a repository which moves fast, so to keep an open patch clean for such an extended period I'd probably have to act weekly or monthly with manual rebases, coding style updates, dependency changes and so on. Of course I can spend time on trivial changes, but only once, when someone is willing to merge.

Federico, I share your frustration. Many patches get stale. It is difficult to remember all the bits and pieces of design choices discussed during a 13-month review process. And also to maintain a patch always up-to-date for one year, also considering that it is not very motivating as obviously not many people are interested ... Also many patches are now overlapping, block each other or similar, and it is difficult decide which one to prefer for a reviewer. There are many features in the queue that might be interesting to unlock. I have the feeling this project is slowly losing interest.
