Thanks for kicking off the conversation Brad :-)
Just mean at the moment. I hacked together and I'm more than happy to iterate on this and improve the reporting.
On the subject of patch abandonment: Personally I think we should be abandoning inactive patches. They cause unnecessary confusion to someone coming into a new extension wanting to help out. We may want to change the name to 'abandon' to 'remove from code review queue' as abandon sounds rather nasty and that's not at all what it actually does - any abandoned patch can be restored at any time if necessary.

The average time for code to go from submitted to merged appears to be 29 days over a dataset of 524 patches, excluding all that were written by the L10n bot. There is a patchset there that has been _open_ for 766 days - if you look at it it was uploaded on Dec 23, 2012 12:23 PM is -1ed by me and needs a rebase.
Mean or median?
I recall talk a while back about someone else (Quim, I think?) doing this same sort of analysis, and considering the same issues over patches that seem to have been abandoned by their author and so on, which led to discussions of whether we should go around abandoning patches that have been -1ed for a long time, etc. Without proper consideration of those sorts of issues, the statistics don't seem particularly useful.
