Not a lot, though certainly I'd be willing to disengage from trivial
patches if someone else picked them up.

One problem with this fest was that a whole lot of the patches *weren't*
trivial; if they had been they'd not have gotten put off till 8.4. So
there weren't that many that I wanted to let go in without looking at
them. I guess that's just another way in which the 8.3 schedule problem
came home to roost during this fest.

In future fests we should have a much higher proportion of "little
things" that maybe more people would feel comfortable taking
responsibility for.

Perhaps it would be useful to try to rate pending patches by difficulty?
