I guess that's a consequence of the new rule established in [1].

I don't know about the rest of it, but I moved all the entries in the
"Bug Fixes" category to the PG19-2 commitfest.

As for the others:

Are they supposed to stay like that? Should they be closed?
If yes, "Returned with Feedback"? Or some new state "Abandoned"?

I *think* we should close the Waiting-on-author ones as Returned with
Feedback, and ping the authors of the rest so that each author moves
their patches forward, with a reasonable deadline (two weeks?); we close
patches that aren't moved by then.

Right now we have:

Waiting on author: 14 patches
Needs review: 13 patches
Ready for committer: 4 patches

It's not a lot.

That makes sense.

Some patches marked as "Waiting on Author" were not updated to "Needs
Review" after they posted a new version, so I haven't returned all of
them. For the ones that are still open, I’ve sent a private email to
the respective authors. Let’s wait a bit and see if they show
interest.

Thank you for doing that!
