How so?

I see 16 patchsets that have been applied or incorporated into
other work just since 1 Jan 2005. That's about 2 a month, and 
doesn't include things incorporated via direct Email to the
developers or to the mailing list. There are another dozen or so
patchsets on SourceForge that are still in active development
and will probably go into cvs over the next few months.

If you feel this rate of progress is too slow, you might consider
contributing some of your own time towards the process.

Or perhaps you are referring to the fact that there are some very
old patchsets still marked "Open".  At the time of the version 4
release, about a year ago, there was a general discussion of which
patches to include.  The ones you see on SourceForge dated prior
to that point were all discussed and rejected for inclusion.
Some contain good ideas, though, so it seems useful to leave them
as inspiration for other people to pick up the good parts and
develop them further.  If there is something in particular that
you would like to see included, by all means feel free to advocate
for it, submit an improved patch, or upload a better one.
