There's the filter issues form which allows finding patches which can't
be applied:

  https://qa.guix.gnu.org/patches?failed-to-apply-patches=on

I think QA tagging issues might be useful for people to benefit from
that data in other places, and should be possible, it just needs QA to
send emails I think.
