Magento 1.9.2.2 Patches onward - What is the list?

Question

I have an installation of Magento 1.9.2.2 and I am lost of how to know what security patches I need to install. I have not installed any since I first installed this installation. I checked the directory app/etc and no file for installed patches is there.

Magento depends on a manual system to do this stuff. To find out what patches apply to Magento 1.9.2.2, you need to go to the Magento Download page, click the Release Archive tab and scroll down till you get to the Ver 1.9.x bar.

Each version has a listing in ascending order of the patches included as follows:

ver 1.9.2.4  - Added Feb 23, 2016  
Includes patches: SUPEE-5344, SUPEE-5994, SUPEE-6237, SUPEE-6285,
SUPEE-6482, SUPEE-6788, SUPEE-7616, SUPEE-7405, SUPEE-7405 v1.1

ver 1.9.2.3  - Added Jan 20, 2016  
Includes patches: SUPEE-5344, SUPEE-5994, SUPEE-6237, SUPEE-6285,
SUPEE-6482, SUPEE-6788, SUPEE-7616, SUPEE-7405

ver 1.9.2.2  - Added Oct 27, 2015  
Includes patches: SUPEE-5344, SUPEE-5994, SUPEE-6237, SUPEE-6285,

ver 1.9.2.1  - Added Aug 4, 2015

SUPEE-6482

ver 1.9.2.0  - Added Jul 7, 2015  
Includes patches: SUPEE-5344, SUPEE-5994, SUPEE-6285

ver 1.9.1.1  - Added May 1, 2015  
Includes patch for the SUPEE-5344 issue

Everything before this was the by gosh and by golly mode where you have to look up all the applicable items in the version dropdown and pray you got them all.

Scroll back up the page to each item you will need:

SUPEE-7616
SUPEE-7405
SUPEE-7405 v1.1

Find the one appropriate to your version (1.9.2.2) and download them.
