To be fair, after that tooltips patch was submitted, Miller expressed his problem with how the patch was implemented. No one ever bothered to follow up on that, so yes, that patch made no progress.
To be fair, the submitter of the patchasked for clarification on Miller's ambiguous expression of his problem, and IOhannesrepeated the question four months later. The last response before closing the patch comes five years later before the patch is closed.
The patch was also refactored and submitted again, which I noticed and refactored it yet again, doing most of the changes on the tcl end and making the tip content generate automatically so that all internal objects and most externals give useful feedback without anyone having to make any further changes or even do any work.
So I don't know, maybe this development process works, and by the time the next tooltips patch rolls around you'll be able to check your email within the tip, and build patches inside the tip with infinite undo/redo, as well as initbang/closebang within the tip.
