I try to comb through this list for gnome-shell often, looking for ACN/ACAF patches I can push, or and looking through the none ones to see if I can review them. Yes, a large majority of them are still unreviewed, usually because I don't know the state of the patch, nor if we want the feature in the first place. > I wonder if anybody has ideas how (and time) to clean up, e.g. by > setting "needs-rework" or simply rejecting unwanted fixes.
