Unfortunately, there's a huge number of outstanding patches at the
moment, so it's impossible to say when/if it will be applied.

There's no need to use the patch binary directly when the patches are
sent in a format git understands, which is generally the case here. To
apply patches from a thread, you can use `git am patches.mbox' where
patches.mbox contains the mails with the patches.

If you're using the emacs UI for notmuch, you can open only those
messages with the patches you want in a thread and pipe them to an mbox
file like this:

C-u | cat > ~/patches.mbox

If there are no conflicts due to more recent changes to the repository,
git am patches.mbox will apply them using the commit messages from the
mails.

FWIW: There's another more recent series of patches that accomplishes a
similar goal: id:"cover.1319833617.git.jani at nikula.org"

Cheers,
Daniel
