In the previous commitfest that I ran, I closed as returned-with-feedback
any patches that were waiting-on-author and had not changed for a very
long time. My rationale was that preserving those dead entries serves
no useful purpose. If the author or somebody else wants to move the
patch forward, they can post a new version now, or submit a new CF entry
later. We don't need zombies.

I did provide a list of such patches, so that any interested onlookers
can act.
