PATCHES - Countdown for January 30th

[James]

Hello,

Here is the current patch countdown list.

I have stated in the MRs that the next countdown will be February 1st 
however, this will not be by me.

Thank you to everyone (especially Graham P, David K and Jonas H), it was 
fun and I have learnt a lot.

I am also been very proud to have been part of what LilyPond has become.

best wishes and farewell.

James
