One of the problems I'm having is keeping track of which patches
are still outstanding.  This is really a management/tools problem.
I have a mailbox full of messages from the patches list -- some
of the messages are patches, others are discussion.  Some patches
supercede others or are duplicates.  It would help if we had better
tools for managing the submitted/pending patches.

SourceForge makes it a little more inconvenient to check which
patches have been applied.  Under the old CVS arrangement, it was
a local operation to do a cvs log or diff.  Now it's a slow network
operation that requires authentication.  (I really want a local
mirror of the entire CVS repository!)

Sorry for the excuses.  I think better tools would help a lot, but
we'll have to get more people checkin privileges regardless.
