From the page for browsing bugs

  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=octave

select the thing near the top marked (+) Display Criteria, choose to 
browse with the "Advanced" query form, then choose "Patch Submitted" 
from the Status menu and the "Apply".  That should give you a complete 
list of all reports that have been tagged with "Patch Submitted".  If we 
are only looking for the ones that are nearly ready, then maybe choosing 
the ones tagged with "Ready for Test" would be better.
