I have no objection to nuking the entire state.

My only use of patchwork was to review old patches for a particular
subsystem. So for example when we were working on malloc changes I would
review what was in the backlog and do an update of all those bugs.

This was just a courtesy to users who had posted previous patches that
we'd never gotten around to fixing. I could do a similar query by just
looking back across the mailing list and grepping for "malloc" or
similar.
