[xmonad] [xmonad-contrib] DarcsWatch Unapplied Patch Review

[Wirt Wolff]

Updated version of Gwern's fine review from a while back:

Down to 15 unapplied in XMC DarcsWatch, several of which are new, and
none obsolete but possibly[1] and [2]. Hurrah!

DW is unfortunately missing at least some patches from the mailing
list. Some manually attached patches are listed and some are not;
some are listed only on the 'DarcsWatch overview > Listing by user'
page, and marked as "unmatched", e.g. the *Master patches. Not
sure what causes this, but I did have some problems with a darcs get 
--partial repo while testing patches, so maybe generating patches
against different lazy versions may have something to do with it?

= Needing action by author or new adopter=

20080926205838: dzenStatusBar  by seanmce33 at gmail.com,
20081002131304: layoutLogger, windowLogger, workspaceLogger,maildDir
                loggers  by seanmce33 at gmail.com
gwern: byorgey tried to apply them, but failed. So we're blocked on sean
re-sending them.
wmw: if no other action next week or so, I'll submit versions against
current repo, probably put dzenStatusBar in Util.Dzen instead.

= Summary =
Obsoletes have been cleaned out. Not much action since last time
on controversial patches. Several new patches have been added since
last review, including adam's tabbed modifier response to tabbed
subpane requests.
