I noticed that recently there are many patches sent to the list
that are left unapplied (and many of them are from you).  Many
of them look useful or at least promising to become useful.

Geez.  Well,... thanks.

Do you have particular ones in the list that you really want to see
in-tree early, do you want all of them, or what?

Your "diff --quiet" and Petr's bash completion.

I do not recall what the status of "diff --quiet" thing was when the
discussion petered off.  I'll have to dig it up later.

I've queued the bash completion from Pasky.

Also there are many patches that are from *you*.  Did you forget to apply
them, are they buggy, or are they in any way bad?

Be reasonable -- that's more than 5 minutes ago.

'rev-list --check-empty $args' would be equivalent to 'test -z "$(rev-list
-1 $args)"'; I am not interested in it myself, and original requestor went
away.  I have been assuming that it is not worth our time to worry about
it if the change is not even necessary by somebody who brought it up
originally.

I wanted to see more positive feedback or better alternatives from people
who do deal with Maildir, especially because I do not use Maildir
anywhere.  Again, the discussion seems to have petered out, so...

IIRC, the patch was in a good shape but without documentation and tests.
I suspect reassembling the pieces from the mailing list archive into an
appliable e-mail submission would have been trivial, if somebody cared
deeply enough, but nothing came out of it.
