Yes, picking up old patches from patchwork and reviewing them is very
helpful. (So is fixing up issues from review if the review was a while
back and the original submitter seems to have lost interest but the change
still seems to make sense.)
We have several large backlogs, including: patches needing review;
patchwork cleanup to make it easier to find patches needing review; bug
reports in Bugzilla needing fixing (or shepherding patches through review
if a patch was attached and nothing more happened, etc., or obtaining
consensus on whether a proposed new feature is desirable) (I expect a
large proportion of the 827 open bugs would not be hard to resolve).
