The reason is simple: you submitted a huge patch for several things, 
most of them new features. If you had submitted small patches each 
making one consistent logical change (but it may depend on other 
changes) then I would have reviewed the ones fixing bugs (like the one 
you describe). That's the general truth that 20 small patches go in much 
faster than one patch big patch doing 20 things put together.
