Don't.  It is not your fault.  You don't know - it might still get
a review.  I'm not sure if Corey's advice makes much sense: how
should you be able to divine that your patch won't receive any attention?

The rule you quote isn't enforced in any way, and it would be difficult.

See

and the lengthy discussion around it.

Our development process isn't perfect, and it can be quite frustrating
for contributors.  Sorry about that.
