    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.
