I remember the trash management and folder compacting issue.
A speedup for folder compacting would of course be very nice. That is 
currently really slow. I don't know if you also started with that already. 
Deleting old mails from the trash automatically is also useful. Well I didn't 
test your trash emptying patch yet. Since the feature freeze was moved, there 
would have been a chance for that to go in, but now it is definitely too late.

I don't have a problem, if someone posts a patch that has some bugs or other 
problems, I point them out and the author postes again a hopefully better 
patch. Everyone makes errors, especially when being new to a big software 
project.

However if the author doesn't want to fix these problems himself and there is 
also no one else who considers it that important, that he wants to care about 
them, the patch can't be committed. That was for example the problem with the 
patch mentioned on kde-devel.

Unfortunately we had this problem a few times in the past which resulted in a 
few not very happy developers.
