In the past we've had discussions on the list about how abandoning patches can be perceived as hostile to contributors, and that using a review dashboard with good filters is a better solution. Since you already have a dashboard, I suggest adding a section for patches that are old but have no review comments (maybe you already have that) and another for patches where the current viewer has voted -1. The first highlights the patches for reviewers, and ignores them when they are in a state where we're waiting for feedback or an update, and the latter provides a list of patches the current reviewer is involved in and may need to recheck for new comments.
