The problem in this case was that my patch didn't receive any meaningful feedback (ie. suggestions for improvement), only a lot of bikeshed stuff about whether the environment variable should have an underscore prefix or not, whether or not I should use "export FOO=..." or not etc. So I didn't know what was necessary in order to get it accepted.
