I think there's confusion between Patchy staging-merge and Patchy
test-patches. They share the "Patchy" name because 90% of the
code is the same, but the staging-merge is a much easier, and much
better-tested, task.

That's a problem with test-patches, not staging-merge.

Yes, and that's valuable for the future.

I think you were working on the wrong problem -- a problem which
*will* be important in the future. I haven't yet set a date for
when I refuse to run test-patches yet, but I'm thinking about Feb
14.
Why am I doing this? Because yelling about our bus factor and the
problems of not automating things has not resulted in enough
attention. If you doubt my yelling, check the email archives.
I am very serious about potentially leaving for good at the end of
March. That would leave a lot of "maintenance" tasks not getting
done. And if I officially leave lilypond and somebody asks for
help doing some maintenance task, I may not bother to reply. I
make no guarantees.
The time to panic about not knowing how to do those tasks is NOW,
while I'm still available to give some guidance.
