Forgot this:

If all the people who have written on this list today would instead just
have spent some time in the patch queue, Drupal would be better tomorrow...

People seem to think that adding yet another status or whatever
technical widget to the issue queue will make it magically dissolve itself.

This won't happen, it takes simply time and _work_ to make it shorter.
