I'm not sure I follow. I tried last week to give some hours for patch
review. What actually happened was that I had to wade through a ton of
stuff, skipping patches that were already applied, threads that were
purely discussion but not patches, threads about earlier versions of
some patches.

I did manage to find actual patches, but I had then to resort to my own
mailbox to get the actual patch to apply and review.

Now I can't be sure whether the current commitfest is finished or there
are still patches pending review; what patches could use input from me;
what patches I could bounce to the next commitfest.

Also I don't know what patches we have for the next commitfest. I would
gladly give some time to put up a Wiki page to list the patches for the
next commitfest. Would that be helpful?
