I posted patches for 3 bugs in boost/rational.hpp a month ago at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7586&atid=307586  They've all
been assigned to turkanis, but it's unclear if they will ever be
applied.

Responding quickly to bug reports and patch contributions is THE best
way for a free software project to encourage new contributions. 
Conversely, allowing patches to languish in limbo is a good way to
scare off new contributors.
