What's really going on is that a version control system is a series of tubes. The problem with SVN is that the tubes are thinner than the Git tubes which means that they are much more likely to get clogged, which causes patches to get dropped.
It is poor rhetoric like this which really leads to bad decision making. SVN versus Git has nothing to do with patches being dropped. If the person responsible for applying patches is not doing it, patches will not be applied no matter what is being used. Ditto if there is no person responsible for doing it. if you feel Git is the solution because everybody then has the right to apply changes to Boost whenever they like, I think you are dreaming.
