Yeah. :( (and I'm embarrassed to admit I'm part of the problem :()

I think it would be good to have a different status for patches that got 
bumped to the next CF due to insufficient review. It's already unfair to 
authors, but at least if there was a separate status those patches could 
be prioritized next time around. It would also allow tracking how big a 
problem that is from one CF to the next.
