Someone mentioned to me that IBM and Oracle have several patents in this area,
is anyone looking into that angle?

In my ideolect, responding to "status of patch" with "there's this
other issue, is anyone looking into it?" connotes (but does not, of
course, denote) that the speaker thinks someone _should_ look into
it. I appreciate that perhaps in your ideolect that connotation is
not present, and my apologies for misunderstanding you.
