Patch pilot report for 28th Feb

[Christopher James Halse Rogers]

Yesterday I tried to wander through the patches proposed by non-Ubuntu
developers, and got most of the way through.  This will be much more fun
once I've got core-dev ☺.

One aspect of friction that I noticed is that merge requests aren't
quite as friendly as bugs to work with.  It's not as easy to mark things
as done (although I think this would be fixed by me actually having
upload privs), and it's a bit harder to retarget to the right place when
the contributor has made  a mistake.
