I think two months for your involvement was enough. During this two
months there was a comment from Bjorn, applied and later quite plenty of
time to revise/check/review.

I understand that we are all busy, pretty often working on upstream in
spare time etc. So no one here complained that you did not review this
patch within two months. But I don't understand what shall we do more if
two months are not enough - wait four months? Six months?

Best regards,
