It's both.  I handle patches that fall through the cracks between
maintained areas (which includes the build system, as it has no formal
maintainer).  So if it's "queued" that means that the submitter need not
care about it anymore, as the patch is in my hands now.

I tend to flush the queue pretty often, around once a week.  The patch
is now in.
