Need feedback on first four UTF-7 patches

[Indrek Altpere]

Well, looking at the list, there are patches that are marked as rejected: those are pretty clear that there is some issue with the patch/patchset.

But seeing a patch row marked as New and for which testbot runs have completed successfully gives no definitive feedback about the actual status.
There is no way to differentiate if a patch has been forgotten accidentally, or ignored on purpose (for the benefit of the project) or postponed for later review (in a week or two).

For me personally, in this case, I wouldn't do much with the information since I'm not the author of those patches nor did I help review them. But it would conserve time for both the developers and reviewers if there is a clearer marker of status, instead of guessing it via calendar and/or polling the wine-devel list.

Regards,

Yeah, it's not.

The patch status page seems pretty clear to me. Put a different way, suppose you e.g. had additional information about why a patch is still "New", what would you do with that information?
