I have done several passes to make sure that patch statuses are more
accurate. As explained in a nearby message, I have set several patches
back from "Ready to Committer" to "Needs review" if additional
discussion happened past the first status change. I have also in
several cases removed reviewers from a patch entry if they haven't been
active on the thread in several months. (Feel free to sign up again,
but don't "block" the patch.)
I was going to say, unfortunately that means that there is now even more
work to do, but in fact, it seems this has all kind of balanced out, and
I hope it's now more accurate for someone wanting to pick up some work:
Status summary: Needs review: 224. Waiting on Author: 24. Ready for
Committer: 31. Committed: 41. Returned with Feedback: 14. Withdrawn: 2.
Rejected: 2. Total: 338.
(And yes, the total number of patches has grown since the commitfest has
started!?!)

Okay, here we go, starting with:

(which is less than CF 2023-07)
I have also already applied one round of the waiting-on-author-pruning
described below (not included in the above figures).

If you have any patches you would like considered, be sure to add them
in good time.
All patch authors, and especially experienced hackers, are requested
to make sure the patch status is up to date. If the patch is still
being worked on, it might not need to be in "Needs review".
Conversely, if you are hoping for a review but the status is "Waiting
on author", then it will likely be ignored by reviewers.
There are a number of patches carried over from the PG16 development
cycle that have been in "Waiting on author" for several months. I
will aggressively prune those after the start of this commitfest if
there hasn't been any author activity by then.
