This is likely because no webkit reviewer has been able to review it. If you would still like the patch reviewed, then please do the following:</div>
<div><ol><li>Make sure your patch still applies to tip of tree.</li><li>Do as many of the suggestions at <a href="http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/CodeReview" target="_blank">http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/CodeReview</a> as possible.</li>
<li>Upload your patch for review again.</li></ol></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div>If we want to implement this, I think there ought to be some sort of easy way for a patch author to respond to any of these automated actions with some kind of a "I looked at the suggestions, my patch is as easy-to-review as possible, please don't close it and instead help me flag down some reviewers" action.</div>
