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.
