WIP because I don't think we should abandon them right away - since
there are patches like yours and Victor's that matter - and there's no
status to say: "I'm sorry we screwed up and we didn't review your
patch. Please come to us and throw all your amazing patches in our
faces so that we'll review them... for realz"

I'm not trying to solve the lack of reviews in Liberty by removing
patches. What I'd like to do, though, is help to keep around patches
that really matter.

I know there have been a huge lag on reviews which is something that
we'll be working on with a different workflow. The dashboard mentioned
is one of them.

We could certainly increase the number of months.

Thanks a lot for the feedback,
Flavio
