It's really nice to use the latest GNOMEVER keyword if possible.

A lot of these bugs need the PATCH keyword adding. The other half to
getting these bugs reviewed is mailing desktop-devel with links to the
report pages and generally trying to jump down maintainers backs about
applying them - this is something I used to do but have not done lately.
I'll send an e-mail to desktop-devel later today.

Adding comments to the bugs can also help because it spams the
maintainers.
