Yeah, we are a bit behind on starting it :-(. Bruce was traveling
until the end of February and is still not caught up on updating
his list of open patches. And I had some Red Hat responsibilities
to take care of, as well as personal matters, and was happy to let
it slip a few days. But we need to get on with it.

Right at the moment the raw data is still in Bruce's patch queue.
It's becoming increasingly obvious that that isn't going to work;
we can't have one man being a complete bottleneck for the entire
process. I concur with your other suggestion to try to move to
a wiki-based patch list, though it's unclear to me just how we
should manage that. I think I'd prefer a small number of people
(but more than just Bruce) responsible for updating the queue.
