Please don't ignore your dream.

It's just that this is a relatively high-traffic list most of the time (in my limited experience), so it does occasionally happen that your patch gets "stuck" somehow; it's probably only more likely to happen if you're trying to contribute to something non-core, like gitk in this case (simply because there are less developers "available").

The only thing you should do is try to get attention -- usually just sending an e-mail suffices, maybe preferably with some more useful content than "Up!". If it doesn't, well, try again (according to my accounting, you did it actually only once so far, definitely not six times).

I'm sure your patch will get the attention and handling it deserves (I experienced similar problem not too long ago), so -- please don't give up!

Thank you!
