I walked through proto patches, queued them in a branch and wrote a
quick note on the list for each (or series). A few (my whiches to remove
xprint) have been dropped (Rejected in patchwork).

The code generator and libxcb patches are next. hopefully until the end
of the week. But, atm. it's wayyyy to hot and the match of Taylor vs.
Webster distracts me. ;)

I didn't found a decent documentation for patchwork (sure I've used the
wrong keywords to search for). Anyone could help me with:
- A patch has "Patch Properties". What's the "Archived" option for?
- Is a "bundle" a synonym for a serie of patches?
- The state "Accepted" has to be set when a patch became merged in
  master, not before?
