Post to this list as you have.

Congrats!

This is of little general interest (seti that is) so you shouldn't expect
a lot of feedback.  Also, if it isn't a critical patch, some times it will
take a while to get attention if people are busy.

That is the *wrong* way to do it.  You should avoid mailing to individuals,
and post to the lists instead.  If you want one-on-one immediate contact,
then try the IRC channel (sorry, I don't know it, as I don't IRC myself).

They are making it to us.

Keep sending in stuff.   But don't expect everything to get immediate
attention.  (For example, my todo list of things people have suggested
or submitted is very long, and I've just not had time to get to them)
