Just searching the bugtracker for your email address, I see two bugs
with patches you've submitted.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640389

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617629

I recognise changing software is a frustrating process, but I don't
think these substantiate your allegations that there are Gnome
developers trying to frustrate accessibility efforts, or that you were
ignored.

Others can judge for themselves, though.
