patch pilot report

[Martin Pitt]

Hello all,

to join the choir of patch sponsors, I just finished my shift for
today. First of all, I have to say that this does feel better for me
than the "one hour per week" thing we had before. While I do
IRC ping based sponsoring almost every day, this solid half-day which
is in my calendar is a lot easier to plan for, and much less easy to
forget about.

I got 8 sponsor requests uploaded (some of them involved two or three
uploads for different releases), and reviewed/cleaned up 11 sponsoring
items which need other actions, such as forwarding upstream, fixing,
or were broken/obsolete.
