He does apply patches, as you can see from reading the list.  He doesn't
necessarily apply them the next day after you post them, and some
patches take a *lot* of complicated review as the interactions in all
the code are not simple.  If you are patient, it will happen.

BTW, "obviously correct" to you may not actually be obviously correct.
