Well, that number also ignores patches that were *committed* without
ever making it to the CF list. There aren't terribly many of those
either I think, but it does happen, particularly for small patches.
If you want to argue about the acceptance rate for out-of-CF-process
patches you'd have to do some serious digging in the archives to say
anything about what it is.
But anyway this is quibbling. The point I was trying to make is that
our patch acceptance rate is fairly far north of 50%, not south of it.
So we might hold people's feet to the fire a bit in the process, but
it's hardly impossible to get a patch committed.
