What?  There's no point waiting.  If something is marked
patch-review, then (space permitting) it should go on the next
countdown.

Obviously is something is still languishing in patch-new, then
don't put it on the countdown... and if there's any patch-review
with known objections, it shouldn't go on the countdown (and
should instead be marked patch-needs_work).


I'm aware of approximately 15 patches which haven't gotten into
the system as patch-new, so I don't think there's cause for
celebration yet.  I haven't made a bigger fuss about those because
there's plenty of stuff already in patch-review, but once those
are under control, we should either recruit a new volunteer to
find those lost patches, or I'll do it myself.

Let's not let up the pressure yet.
(I also don't like having 21 patches languishing as
patch-needs_work; I think that once the backlog is gone and we can
force reviews within 48 hours, developers will have more
motivation to make the required changes and get another set of
reviews)
