Thanks for all the work!

Setting bugs with outdated patches to needinfo may be a bit problematic
as the bugsquad team has a tendency to close needinfo bugs after some
time...  Also they won't show in some default search queries..  Just
removing the patch keyword, or marking the patch as needs-work may be
better, but that's just my idea.
