Well, I myself maintain a fairly popular open source repo and go months without
replying to perfectly usable pull requests. It's just a question of time (and
conservatorism you're right, since I also get lots of unusable, if creative,
contributions ).

But I do value neat, ready-to-commit contributions. Tests and peer
backings help,
too.  These I normally merge without even testing them myself (github makes it
easy). So "neater" contributions are not only more convenient, they offer more
security to a maintainer that it isn't just a one-off hack to scratch some itch.

Throw in another 0.02 and try out the patches. Report back here if
they're good to go.

PS: interesting point about the surprising slowness of SLIME.
Interesting indeed,
but lets spend more time fixing and improving it than evaluating the interest
of such discussions :-)
