Good explanation.

Mathias, maybe it would help if you explain to your colleagues that 
'backlog' is similar in meaning to 'product backlog' in scrum terminology.

Simply no one is currently working on it. It is not the end of the line. 

If you want to get your patches in, you can get a git account too: 
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Git

Thanks,

Steve.
