In the medium to long term, I agree with you.
In the short term I want to see the features that help authors keep
their patches alive (cfbot integration! automatic rebase reminders!
automated rebase?) so that we're not just artificially raising the
barrier to entry. People with plenty of time on their hands will be able
to go through the motions of moving their patches ahead regardless of
whether or not the patch is dead.
