It was my impression that the reason my bug fix sits in the queue for 7 
months is that no one tested it, i. e. it should be tested by someone 
other but the developer. I do not remember why and where I developed 
that (apparently wrong) understanding.

If I can test it myself, well, it works non-stop on production servers 
which took a few hundred thousand calls since it was applied...

Do you know why is it sitting in the queue then? I am baffled.

When I submitted bugs, they were fixed by somebody. They asked for my 
confirmation, and the fixes went in as soon as I confirmed them. I 
*thought* there was a causal relation: developer fixes a bug, then 
reporter tests the fix, then the tested fix is committed. Again, is my 
understanding wrong?
