I'd much rather keep current state of affairs, and track patches
awaiting approval by looking for `Ok to install?' or just `Ok?' in
their bodies. This would automatically rule out patches posted (and
installed) by maintainers with global write privileges, and follow-up
patches to messages that approved patches conditioned to minor
changes.
