+1 for closing such patches as Returned with Feedback, for the same reasons
Robert and Peter already stated.

Note that I already closed such CF entries during the last commitfest, so
hopefully there shouldn't be too much. Last time I used "both Waiting on
Author and no activity from the author, since at least the 15th of the month"
as the threshold to close such patches (although I closed them at the beginning
of the next month), as it seems to be the usual (and informal) rule.
