Patch Review Issues

A number of folks have comment publicly and privately in the recent past about patches rotting in Bugzilla. This was discussed at a recent staff@mozilla.org meeting, and in order to help decide how best to deal with this, we'd like to get a better understanding of the various states that these bugs are in. There are two pieces to this:

* coming up with a list of information about unreviewed patches that we'd like to know
* data-mining bugzilla to come up with the answers to these questions

I've put a straw-man version of a list at http://wiki.mozilla.org/Misc:Review_Stats; please comment there if you're interested in helping work on this.

Does this include patches that have reviews and havent been landed yet?

Does this include patches that are really really old (like 2001)?

Kurt: it seems to me like it should; yes. I see you've added that to the Wiki talk page; thanks!

Ian: yes, definitely.
