You don't see the whole picture if you look at the number unreviewed
patches alone (which is btw roughly as much as what you've committed
this year!). I for example, am very interested in getting some of the
simple things I've discovered fixed. Unfortunately the whole process
is so slow and uncertain at the moment I don't know if it's worth the
effort to send even more patches. (I'm optimistic though and currently
waiting for FSF papers to arrive.) I'm not claiming you're losing a
major contributor in me but you are losing someone who is (a) capable
of fixing things and (b) cares deeply about GNU Classpath.
