-On the scheduled countdown day, the Patch Handler reviews the
-previous list of patches on countdown, with the same procedure and
-criteria as before. Patches with no controversy can be set to
-@qq{patch-push} with a courtesy message added to the comment block.

-Roughly at six month intervals, the Patch Handler can list the
-patches which have been set to @qq{patch-needs-work} and send the
-results to the developer list for review. In most cases, these
-patches should be marked @qq{patch-abandoned} but this should come
-from the developer if possible.

-As in most organisations of unpaid volunteers, fixed procedures are
-useful in as much as they get the job done. In our community, there
-is room for senior developers to bypass normal patch handling flows,
-particularly now that the testing of patches is largely automated.
-Similarly, the minimum age of 24 hours can reasonably be waived if
-the patch is minor and from an experienced developer.
