Because the maintainer is very busy.

You can still find your email with the attached highlighting changes here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2013-12/msg00000.html

Again, the problem is not on your side. It's simply the case that none
of the people who have commit access to the nano source repository
have had the time to review your changes. This kind of thing sucks,
and may be at some point they can bring in new people to help out with
maintenance, but that's just how open source software works, when it's
being maintained by people in their spare time.
