The trick is to make some noise and get the attention of a committer.
Tell the people you know about problem X and that you have a patch to
fix it. This may result in some posts of other people which try your
patch and report that it works for them. The probability that someone
without the possibility to test this will commit it is higher if there
are several people which tell it works, than when the fix is only
sitting in Gnats.

Bye,
Alexander.
