Howdy folks,
I put together some code to fetch all the non-obsolete patches from this page and see if they apply against trunk.
Wow, thanks
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=patch%2C%20need-review&a...
Basically it tries --strip with 0,1,2,3 and then does an exhaustive search of the tree for places where the patch might apply.
These are my results. http://pastebin.com/tgNTfXzx
There seems to be bugs in that list that are already closed. (Should need-review be removed from those bugs?) Manually running that query, I see 218 bugs, 240 on your list. Indeed, I don't see how did your script get to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8627 (plus determine that it contained a valid patch).
Eventually I may update these scripts to run all the automated tests on each patch that apply cleanly. However, I won't be getting to it in the near future. ;-)
In the meantime, hopefully this makes it easier to catch up on the backlog.
If anyone wants to mess with the code (it is in Ruby), please let me know and I will get it up on GitHub.

Not the best candidate language for us :/
