Yep, that describes the painful process well.
I have tried to stay on top of patches already applied but I am doing a
clock sweep over the queue and you probably caught a spot I was nearing.
The rest is clearly hard to digest. Ideally I could group all related
patches together, and separate the pure TODO items from the patches that
might be TODO items or might be applied. (Though I do need comments on
the pure TODO items too.)
The problem is that I know of no easy way to do that and the time to
doing it is better spent actually processing/deleting items.

You can download an mbox of the entire queue if that helps.

Uh, I don't think we have any patches for the next commit fest yet.
