Remember you are Patch Czar, not the slave of patches. You could
restrict yourself to incorporate only patches that people propose.

If you want systematic scanning, we could try to come up with a script
that automatically reviews all commit messages of patches since 2.1.1
whether these mention an SF bug. We could then further automate
scanning to produce the number of changed lines, to exclude 'large'
changes.

Perhaps anybody in the readership of this software already has code
that does such things?
