It's status is open, not 'Awaiting Testcase'...

There are 1227 open issues, that's an amount of noise that is not going to go 
away anytime soon...

Well, that's a bit a simplistic view. I wasted a day because of 
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1574
And it looks like I'm not the only one. A patch and test case on that issue 
apear to have been available since March 2006, yet the bug is still there. 

So what is it someone needs to do to get a bug fixed in Hibernate (short of 
creating a private fork)?
