Hi Jakub,

Thanks for this, as I mentioned in my response to David we have made a
table and use this link to try and see what's going on
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gcc-patches/20220824115956.737931-9-philip.herron@embecosm.com/T/#rbff0bb3df2780fecd9ee3d2baa864d9140d24b54

Do you think I should send a PING email to each patch which we are
waiting on review for?

Thanks

--Phil
