I can feel your pain that your (only) patch was unreviewed for three
years. If it makes you happy to blame somebody feel free to, but I
feel it is unfair to blame the single person that eventually *did*
review and commit your patch.

You may ask yourself why this specific patch was unreviewed for
so long. My own explanation is that it is a highly complicated
algorithm (as any kind of cryptographical algorithm), so nobody
felt qualified to review it. I'm pretty sure it was *looked at*
often (contrary to your remark in [1]), but none of the people
reading it were qualified to comment.

So if you want to work on encryption still, please go ahead.

Regards,
Martin
