This is going to expire my patches that nobody cares about and that are
improving the code or fixing stuff people didn't encounter (yet).

Why WIP? If a patch is complete and waiting for reviewers I'm not sure
it helps.

The problem is that nobody is reviewing Glance patches (except you
recently it seems). That's not going to solve that. That's just going to
hide the issues under the carpet by lowering the total of patches that
needs review…
