Also, I doubt that there are all that many patches that have simply
been abandoned by their authors.  Our problem is the same as it's
been for many years: not enough review person-power, rather than
not enough patches.  So I think authors would just jump through that
hoop, or enough of them would that it wouldn't improve matters.
