I can't tell if your statement should be taken at face value, or is a subtle dig 
indicating that everyone should be reviewing other people's code rather than 
writing more of their own.

Taking it at face value, I interpret him to mean that he has some features that 
he would like to submit, and they're blocked waiting for core reviewers.  I've 
gone through that myself--it can take a long time to get meaningful feedback, 
much longer than I've experienced in other open-source projects.

Taking it as a dig, sometimes people just have their one itch to scratch and the 
rest of the project is "good enough" for them, and I think that's actually okay.
