Rajaneesh,

In general, we don't try to work on tasks that others have already claimed (eg a bug assigned). However, it happened in this case for a couple of different reasons.

First, last week we were wrapping up the dev work for Swift that would be included in the OpenStack Juno integrated release. Since the Juno release is time-based, we needed to get everything done last week. Since the patch had already been reported publicly and we hadn't head from you in many days, we wanted to ensure that it got included.

Secondly, last week many Swift devs (including Rick who wrote the merged patch), were together at a Swift hackathon. While there we wrapped up many patches that needed to be included in the release, including one to fix this bug you found.

Us developing this patch and merging it last week in no way is a reflection on you or your code. We simply needed to have a patch (with tests) merged last week, and we took advantage of sitting in the same room together.

Thank you for identifying the bug and starting on the patch. If you'd like to continue to stay involved in Swift's dev work (and I hope you do!), then join us in #openstack-swift on freenode IRC. You can also take a look at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Swift/PriorityReviews for what we're currently prioritizing in reviews and https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Swift/ideas for a list of some smaller, more isolated ideas of new stuff to work on.
