[Webtest] When are patches integrated into builds?

yeah, I would say when a committer has time to integrate it respecting the quality standard ;-)

I'm committer since a few months but up to now and despite many hours of work, I don't get the self test application 
working as I want, what would allow me to commit different patches. I'm not satisfied with the "do everything" servlet 
used in the selftest application and I'd like to incorporate jsp to facilitate the work but sadly it doesn't work as 
expected...

Do these patches ever get integrated into the actual Canoo WebTest build?  The type=button one has been around since last May, I noticed.  With other open-source tools we use, like FitNesse, it seems like the patches get incorporated more often, which is really helpful for us non-programmers.
