In general, unless I ask you to wait, a contributor would almost never be waiting for me.

I think Ævar's v6 was not up to par, but I thought that v5 from you (which is in 'next') was good enough to cook in 'next'. The topic will not be moving out of 'next' until the final 2.21 is released anyway, so if anything, I'd say the ball is in his court to update his version after the release, when your v5 may have a chance to be kicked out of 'next' and replaced _if_ there is a better version by then.
