They aren't in a black hole. They will get reviewed. However we've got a
slight situation that we haven't got clarity about what to do with the
patches once approved! There are somewhat political reasons behind this
:-|. This _will_ get resolved, but unfortunately we aren't able to do so in
the near term.

But do rest assured that the patches are not forgotten. (e.g. I'm not keen
on the libsupc++ patch, but I'll comment on that in the right on place).
