Yes, not sure what you want us to do. Close them all ? :)

You did not mention that issue before.

Several options in no particular order:

Convince a committer that the patch is good and hope they have time to get it fixed.
Get commercial support.
Become a committer yourself.

Anyway I myself is a committer, but currently do not have time to work on the core so
you will need to convince one of the others - sorry.
