Assuming that dropped patches are always at the bottom of the stack,
I've always simply done this to commit such patches to CVS and take
them out of quilt:

    quilt pop -a -f

    foreach patch to be moved to version control
    do
      quilt push
      cvs commit ...
      edit patch/series
      rm -rf .pc
    done

HTH,
        Gary.
