If you only want to apply patches which have been reviewed -

Then select only those messages with the tag: [git commit] added
to the title line.

You can also simply update ('git pull') your local copy of the
repository after seeing the '[git commit]' tagged messages.

Other messages on this list are **proposed** patches, usually
still under discussion and review.
Those are **not** in the repository (yet), some never will be.

Those patch messages are of interest only to those who want to
participate in the review and testing process.
