The patches need to be reviewed for correctness and style. Typically any
non-trivial patch (or series) needs two reviews. You can see examples in
the archives of how this works.  They are currently marked stale, which
is supposed to mean they no long apply. On the other hand, if they apply
for you, maybe that tagging is wrong (see http://notmuchmail.org/nmbug/
for more information about patch tagging).

By the way, it seems like commit b88030b might be relevant.
