I'm confused, I thought the difference between the pgpatches queue and
the pgpatches_hold queue is the release the patch is targeted for. If
there's a third queue for patches that need review before being added to
another queue, could we have that visible somewhere, so that we know
what's in it?

The "8.3 patch queue", and the "8.4 patch queue"?
