Hi Gene,
Well, one one hand I can sympathize with the developers. I do know they have 
their personal agendas, limited time, and a lot to do without having to bother 
with external users's whining. On the other hand, I can't be expected to 
babysit my merge requests too much either since I'm in the same position (I do 
contribute to other projects as well, and have my own to contend with).
I think the best way would be to asign a developer by drawing straws every 
month, and whoever loses gets to look at merge requests on Gitorious and make 
at least one comment (looks good/ugly code/don't like your nickname etc.).
Having one year old merge requests without even one comment is unacceptable in 
my opinion, no matter which excuses can be provided.

Cheers,
Adrian
