You commented on the issue where this patch originated as late as July:
<URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1278#c7>.  So
it's hard to argue that it was not discoverable to you.

The creation of the issue tracker was pointed out to you in a direct
reply by Valentin in
<URL:http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2010-09/msg00424.html>.

The discussion thread containing this pointer consists of four mails.
Three of those mails were written by yourself, only the final reply with
the pointer to the tracker issue was written by Valentin.

I doubt that using a different tool would have changed your perception
of never having been invited to take part in that review.
