[webkit-dev] EWS commenting about ancient patches

[Eric Seidel]

I believe the queue was actually cleared when they were brought
online.  As Ossy notes, this is "expected behavior".

Every time the feeder queue boots up (which is every 2 hours), it
sends *all* patches marked for review to queues.webkit.org.

queues.webkit.org makes sure that each individual EWS queue has either
has a result for each patch, or adds it to each individual queue.

Since there are some ancient patches still marked r?, new queues will
process ancient patches. :)

(The feeder-queue is then smart enough to keep an in-memory list of
what it's sent to queues.webkit.org, so it only send incremental lists
until it restarts itself again in 2 hours.)
