What is wrong with exo?

[Felipe Contreras]

Hi,

I've rarely encountered bugs in Xfce, specially drastic ones, but when
I do, they are always in exo. I sent patches to fix them and they take
forever to get applied. It seems nobody is maintaining it.

It has happened twice that support for BitTorrent magnet links breaks,
twice have I fixed it, and twice have my patches been ignored for the
longest time. Is there no testing framework, does nobody check basic
use cases?

I think it speaks really badly to the maturity of the project the fact
like basic functionality, like opening URLs, doesn't work correctly
most of the time.

Lack of resources is not an excuse, because as I've said; I've
provided the fixes.

And it's also not a matter of review expertise, because any programmer
with a pair of eyes would see that my patch is correct and simple[1],
while the commit that caused the problem is not[2].

Can you just fix this stupid bug?
