Even after the wiki was setup there was still limited involvement in
patch application except for me and Tom. The wiki is going to allow
people to see more easily what is outstanding, but it doesn't seem to
have translated into more people involved in finishing the commit fest.
Humorously, it is like televising a football game --- more people watch,
but it doesn't help the players on the field. :-(
