I'm sorry to hear that. We're a volunteer project. Many times that means it's
hard to get review for your changes, much like in the Linux kernel, or other
larger projects.

Let me assure you we *do* want C11 threads, but it's a large new set of APIs
that have ABI consequences.

I trust Adhemerval to keep pinging.

No, we will support it, but it just takes time to merge large chunks of code.
We ask for patience, and to reach out to the stewards for additional review if
required.
