[xwiki-users] About LDAP patch XWIKI-1079

Hi The patch mentioned in the subject has been in Jira since April 2007. What is the status of this? I have seen http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/FilteringLDAPauthenticatedUsers and it looks like everything is ready to be committed, but all that has been done so far is that the 'fix version' for the Jira issue has been pushed forward to the upcoming release a couple of times, without any appearant consideration for inclusion by the XWiki people. What's missing here? Does this patch get the attention from the Xwiki developers that I think it deserves? Or is it simply not ready for committing and needs more testing? And most importantly: What can I personally do to speed up the inclusion of this in the XWiki trunk? Thanks, Tobias
