For non-security patches, discovery isnt a problem.
They are cookie-licked bugs, and should already been discoverable via
a link on a Phabricator task.
If there is no Phabricator task, they are an unloved patch for an
undefined problem.
Hiding them as a draft un-licks them.

But that depends on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T63124 , and
probably an upgrade of Gerrit, which will take forever because of the
plan to switch to using Phabricator for code review.
