I think what you guys must be seeing is that the topics are not in
quite the same order. As far as I can tell, the ordering of patches
within topics is absolutely identical. If you see a counterexample,
please point it out. If you want to fix the order of the topics,
click on the "CommitFest Topics" link in the upper lefthand corner of
the page and frobnicate the sort order.

Brendan, is this something that you can work on? Or does anyone else
have some time to put into it? And do we have to fix this before we
can declare the new system live, or can we catch up after the fact?
Because replicating changes from the old system to the new is a bit of
a pain in the neck.
