I use Preware to install the patches. If a patch isn't listed, I haven't tried it.

Thanks for this list.
I have created a webos 1.1.3 feed for patches, and updated our autopatch build infrastructure to be able to package patches for both 1.1.3 and 1.2.1 (and any other versions in the future). All that is required is that people port the patches to the required versions, and tag the git repo accordingly.
I have enabled all the above patches for the 1.1.3 feed, and have also back-ported the Phone Radio Toggle patch myself.
The feed for 1.1.3 patches is:
Index of /feeds/webos-patches/1.1.3
Put this in /var/etc/ipkg/webos-patches.conf instead of the URL with "all" at the end. A future version of the Package Manager Service will do this by default, but for the time being you will need to edit the file manually.
We're looking for .eu and .uk developers to help with back-porting the patches. Create an account at gitorious.org, clone the webos-internals/modifications repo, backport the patch and request a merge. If the backport is good you will be granted commit access so you can do more, and help with patch maintenance and development in the future.
Thanks,
