Several of the patches that Sachin applied were attached to JIRAs that I had assigned to myself. Would it help facilitate the process if I unassigned the JIRAs after I have finished working on them and attached the patch? Or should I leave the JIRA assigned to myself and look on IRC for a committer to reassign it to? Just want to be sure that I'm sending the right signals.

Your suggestion is good Sachin and I agree. What I think we need is a JIRA triage person who watches the incoming JIRAs and is a PITA until someone deals with the patch. Kind of like we do the TCK. I think 3-4 days is max as after that discouragement probably starts to set in.
