Actually - after reading the CG for how patches are handled (I am
currently updating the CG here), it is the Patch Meister's
responsibility every 6 months or so to list all patches that are
needs-work to see if they should be changed to abandoned and preferably
by the dev who had the patch.

So i will try to do that on the next countdown.

What about setting it to 'blank'?
