My English parse falls over on 'are', and wants to backtrack and try
alternatives.

Maybe:

On the other hand, due to the volume of development discussions on
netdev, after a week of silence further discussions are very unlikely
to occur without prompting.

Hm. The whole "On the other hand, due to".. felt a bit clunky from 
the start, maybe that's the problem? Is this better?

 Generally speaking, the patches get triaged quickly (in less than
 48h). But be patient, if your patch is active in patchwork (i.e. it's
 listed on the project's patch list) the chances it was missed are close to zero.
