Ok, picked up directly.

These fall through the cracks partly because it's not obvious what
they are for. Sometimes I get pull requests from DavidH, and sometimes
I get random patches, and while the pull requests are fairly
unambiguous ("please pull") the same is not necessarily true of the
patches. Are they for discussion, an RFC, or fro applying...

So then I pretty much guess.
