I mean, for now, yes. The authors may show up later and move them and
that's fine, we can consider them when they're actually moved. It
doesn't have to be that those patches are 100% dead, never to be
considered again.

But let's not make the mistake of saying "we're not going to move
things automatically because we want to find out if the authors are
still interested" and then getting really concerned when some stuff
doesn't get moved. That's missing the whole point.
