	Neither do I.

	I've gotten the impression from Dries that the biggest roadblock right  
now is knowing whether a patch has been tested.  He proposed some changes  
to project.module to make this information more clear.  I say we code  
those changes and implement them on Drupal.org.  After a couple months  
trying out the new system, we can talk about other improvements.
