   These need to be reviewed and tested, which is a lot of work.  In
   particular, strcpy->strlcpy and sprintf->snprintf conversions are
   subject to common mistakes such as mistaking a string pointer (where
   sizeof() does not produce what you want) for a string buffer (where it
   does).

   To keep the burden reasonable I think the best thing to do is to commit
   two patches a day (not more) from his set, so other developers can do
   post-reviews of them and also test the programs involved.

Sure this isnt a problem. I didn't plan on committing them all anyway, hoping someone else
would muck in also!
