Research on missing patches on LibreOffice core master

[Andreas Mantke]

Hi all,

for certain reason I made a research about patches that were committed
to a distro branch of LibreOffice but never made it to the master
branch. I thus searched for those patch titles that were committed to
the branch distro/co-24.04 and not to the master. I got a list of more
than 6900 patch titles. There maybe some patches which are only releated
to the distro branch (e.g. upgrade the release number) but I have no
clue why the other patches were not committed upstream too. You can get
the list (with status from some days ago) here:

I had already a look at some of those patches, e.g. those who were
releated to the LibreOffice Kit (LOK) and after a reminder they made it
to the master branch. Maybe it's a good idea to review at least those
patches from the list which didn't make it since autumn 2020 to the
master branch when the online version was forked away. It could help to
get those patches and their features also upstream and in the next
LibreOffice major release.

Regards,
Andreas
