When I am looking to commit something, I have to consider:

* do we want the change
* are there concerns
* are the docs good
* does it need tests
* is it only a proof-of-concept

When people review commit fest entries, they have to figure out what is
holding the patch back from being complete, so they have to read the
thread from the beginning. Should there be a clearer way in the commit
fest app to specify what is missing?
