Between Scylla and Charybdis, eh? :)

I may simply have a narrow-ish area of interest, though. The kind of 
patches that might fall through the crash are likely targeting an area 
without an active maintainer.

An active patch herder might manage those in Patchwork, but as long as 
they are submitted to the bug tracker, they won't be lost (even if no 
one is actively reviewing them).

Though of course it would be much better if the bug tracker assigned a 
tag "patch" to such bug reports automatically.
