There are three kinds of patches in the current .src.rpm:

1) patches from kde-qt (older qt-copy) that are either backports of upcoming 
releases or patches submitted and are pending acceptance

2) patches from kde-qt that have been rejected by the Qt team

3) patches that I had never seen before, which I have to assume also split 
into "backports", "rejected" and "unsubmitted"

The kde-qt patches have a bugtracking number so we can easily find out why they 
are (still) there. The #3 patches are not as forthcoming.

What worries me is the fact that MeeGo is carrying rejected patches and 
unsubmitted ones.
