The githup repository for GNUstep is a read only copy of the official 
GNUstep SVN repository. Changes from the SVN get automatically copied 
over to it. As far as I am aware no development takes place there.

I am not surprised to learn that nobody is really following changes and 
requests there. It should state that on the first page though, to make 
people aware of the fact.

The correct way to submit patches for GNUstep is to use or bug tracking 
system: https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?group=gnustep

There you should submit one patch for each group of changes that belong 
together. And you have to sign a copyright assignment for the Free 
Software Foundation first, if you send in a huge patch. Adam Fedor or 
Gregory Casamento should be able to send you a template.

I think it is great to see such a big commitment from your side. You 
definitely spend some time writing all these changes and you deserve 
feedback for them. You just started out the wrong way by using github 
and your huge amount of mails to the developer mailing list surprised 
everybody.
I would suggest you take care of the copyright assignment first and then 
we work through your changes one at a time.
