There are 273 patches in the queue for the Sept Commitfest already, so
it seems clear the queue is not being cleared down each CF as it was
before. We've been trying hard, but it's overflowing.

Of those, about 50 items have been waiting more than one year, and
about 25 entries waiting for more than two years.

The "Last Modified" field should probably omitted.  The fact that "Moved to Next CF" changes this date is unhelpful.  I'd much rather replace it with a "last patch provided" date, or, better, an "days since" calculation instead.  Having the system record the email addresses that replied to the thread instead of strictly looking at people who interact with the commitfest application would probably also be useful information for commitfest people looking to see where limited attention would be best spent.
