## AI overview

The report says that long-pending patches were reviewed, but many were too outdated to apply unchanged, so their authors were asked for updates.

## Source excerpt

Hello everyone, Because Christmas was so close to the weekend, I decided to delay the report a few days, and release it on time for the holidays, and this way include in the report everything that has happened over the weekend and the beginning of this week. The past week began by reviewing some patches that were pending for a LONG time. Sadly, most of them were too bit-rotten to be applicable as-is, so I had to contact the patches' authors and request an update.
