[Qt-interest] Is the bug reporting and merge requests workflow broken?

I submitted a bug report, then fixed the bug, then submitted a merge
request FOUR MONTHS ago. The bug is still open and the merge request
is still not applied.
It's minor bug that appeared from 4.6 to 4.7 regarding small buttons
on Mac OS. The bug is that Qt 4.7 is incorrectly assuming that every
button is rounded like the default Mac OS buttons. And in the case of
small (square) buttons, the corners of the button are excluded to the
point where there is no way to process clicks in small buttons.
I took time out to fix the bug, submitted it via a bug report with an
attached merge request. I wrote a test case so that the same bug is
caught in future versions. What's the hold up in applying the merge?
For what it's worth: A great way to lose developers is to be totally
unresponsive to bug reports and merge requests. Is Qt already going
down that road?
