Thank you so much for your work!  Bugzilla was getting out of control,
and you've reversed that.

We are trying to focus on trunk these days and make progress there, so
we haven't had much time to review/apply them.  It's not good to let
them sit in bugzilla so long; we are working on handling new patches
more expediently.  To get through this backlog, it would be really
helpful if you or others could go through and fix, vet, and prioritize
them and then send them to the list one at a time.

Thanks again!
