Oh, so if I submit patches to fix the problems I've raised, they
will be incorporated? Or is someone using their position of
source-code maintainer/gatekeeper to implement their own

not to rant
that you got something at no price while demanding that someone else fix
it to meet your whims. Share patches, rather than rants, and you will
gain a lot more friends in the world of free software.

I have shared multiple patches -- having them dropped on the floor
makes me unwilling to submit patches for things that they gatekeepers are
going to unilaterally reject anyway.
More than 50% of your mail was ranting about the behavior of grep, which
we already established is NOT part of the coreutils package.

Sorry, I thought the 15127 was the bug that got assigned when I
send the email to the bug-grep reported here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/2013-08/msg00017.html
and responded to here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/2013-08/msg00018.html
It doesn't seem that the grep bug was assigned a bug number, though it
appeared to be rejected and my response was in regards to it.
