No, it doesn't. You seem to be under the impression that bugmasters have
some kind of "power" or "authority" over what does and doesn't happen and
which patches will or will not be accepted. I think this is a
misunderstanding; it doesn't matter what some bugmaster says or doesn't say,
all that matters is the verdict of the maintainer responsible for the area
of the compiler for which you propose a patch.
cheers,
