I am certainly no expert, but I follow the lists. I recall
reading something recently that a lot of the logjam is the
need for people to look over other patches that have been
submitted. Something along the lines of ... if everyone
who submits a patch will just go through and check over
10 other patches we will have this backup sorted quickly.

So, if there are patches in the tracker that are in the
same general area as yours, or in another area about which
you have some knowledge, you chould check them out, and
comment on them and help out the process.
