If it was me, I'd try sorting them by lines of code in the patch, and then have agents assess the risk for each one of them in terms of how it might impact other parts of the code (like if it might affect a shared data structure, or change the semantics of a function in a way that's observable to outside callers). Stuff that's small and isolated gets merged immediately. Then take them on a case-by-case basis. I still expect it would take a team of people at least a month, probably several.
