I suggest removing the patch keyword for those patches which are known to not be 
correct fixes. Such patches really only serve as additional information that may 
be helpful for anyone trying to fix it correctly.

For the good patches, I'd like to see them redone as pull requests.

For issues with pull requests fixing them, perhaps adding a 'pull' keyword will 
be appropriate.
