It currently takes a lot of time to try and find patches that can benefit from their help to move forward. One easy to implement idea on how to improve that is to include a freeform status field for a patch, possibly this should be called "blocked on"/"What's needed?". Authors/reviewers could fill this in with a short summary of the situation and what is currently needed according to them to move this patch forward, either from reviewers/committers/authors.

Remove latest activity column

Having both "Latest email" and "Latest activity" on the main commitfest
list kind of useless. The "Latest activity" often is simply the date
that a patch was moved to the next commitfest, so it's content is rather
useless in general. If we improve the commitfest app to contain more
useful info (e.g. by implementing #19) it might become more useful to
have this timestamp though. For now it seems fine to remove it though,
and once we implement #10 we can add his back as an option.

Would it be a good idea to create another status, Blocked or Needs Help in CF app along with the field Blocked On? That way, if Blocked On field has any message from the author, the status could automatically change to Blocked, and contributors would see this in Status Summary section on top. Removing the message from the field would update the status to Needs Review.
