Maybe we also need a [PING for-2.5] or similar? I've just sent another
couple of pings for patches (one of which fixes the broken
analyze-migration.py script) which have fallen through the cracks over
the past couple of months. It would be nice to have an easy way to flag
outstanding patches like this, especially during freeze when things get
really busy.
