Maybe we should just move everything that was there on say May 1 and not
accept anything new for July.

I note a substantial number of items in the bug fix category. It would
certainly be good to reduce that. On a positive note, as a result of
adding the new committers, quite a large number of patches now have a
committer as author and/or reviewer. So I'm somewhat hopeful we can
clear away a lot of the deadwood in July.
