I believe the queue was actually cleared when they were brought online. As Ossy notes, this is "expected behavior".
Every time the feeder queue boots up (which is every 2 hours), it sends *all* patches marked for review to queues.webkit.org. queues.webkit.org makes sure that each individual EWS queue has either has a result for each patch, or adds it to each individual queue. Since there are some ancient patches still marked r?, new queues will process ancient patches. :) (The feeder-queue is then smart enough to keep an in-memory list of what it's sent to queues.webkit.org, so it only send incremental lists until it restarts itself again in 2 hours.) -eric On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 11:43 AM, Ryosuke Niwa <rn...@webkit.org> wrote: > Sorry, that's my fault.
