Hi,

Perhaps it would be an idea to let patches 'expire' automatically unless 
they are 'rescued' (=given another year)  by committer or commitfest 
manager (or perhaps a somewhat wider group - but not too many). 
Expiration after, say, one year should force patch-authors to mount a 
credible defense for his/her patch to either get his work rescued or 
reinstated/resubmitted.

Just a thought that has crossed my mind already a few times. It's not 
very sympathetic but it might work keep the list smaller.
