Yeah I totally agree. It's not so simple as to just add "or" though,
because you would still want e.g. a filter by a patch status to be an
AND.

There are two reasons I did that:
1. This new homepage includes open patches from *all* commitfests. And
there's currently no page with that information.
2. I didn't want to risk breaking people's existing workflows in this
final CF of the year. Once people are happy with it, I definitely plan
to also add sorting/filtering (as an option) to the normal commitfest
pages.

I think you're either wrong, or I misunderstand what you meant here.
You definitely can filter patches on the homepage using the same
filter controls. It's just AND again on top of the homepage filters.

Yeah, that's bad. It should at least show some info in that case.
