Please don't feel bad when a patch doesn't make it through, I'm not very familiar with the progress of this particular patch but it happens regularly. I work full time with mediawiki and If you search gerrit for 'owner:"EBernhardson ebernhardson@wikimedia.org" status:abandoned' You will find just shy of 100 patches over a year and a half that didn't make it in. I also have about 750 patches that did get merged in that timeframe.
I'm just trying to say, don't get frustrated. These things happen. I can't comment too much on this particular patch.

Ok, last attempt.
This needs merge: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/151370/
Somebody shat on it (-2), so it looks ugly, sorry for that. Didn't come back to clean up their mess, either, instead told me to advertise it here.
Sorry for putting it like this, in particular with the Sumana's thread right next to it, but really, I am fed up. The way this went lets all that clamoring for contributors sound rather hollow, to my ears at least - they are quite obviously not welcome. I mean being ignored because everybody is apparently super busy is one thing. But being made to jump through hoop after hoop for weeks and then being ignored does feel less like being ignored and more like being made fun of. It will be a long time until I waste my time again on trying to get some patch merged.
