Surely not "all"?  We have that display already.  Should be more like
"patches that I have expressed an interest in or have reason to take
current or future action on".

In the case of stale patches that haven't been moved forward from a
closed commitfest, perhaps we could compromise on Jelte's suggestion
of putting those in a separate section at the bottom of the page.

However, I still think such patches should be treated differently for
the author than other people.  The author does have current action to
take on the patch, namely moving it forward or withdrawing it.
