For some strange reason, I sent many of the reports to
owner at bugs.debian.org instead of the correct report email, so I just
forwarded them to the correct email.

Yes, I know how to use `diff', but what do you mean by machine-appliable?
I usually just use `diff -Naur'.

Using a combination of 'Coverity', and manually looking.

Yes, probably, I should have, but I looked at the bug report page and it
seems that the develoeprs are inactive. I didn't really have a good look
though, so I may have missed other activity.

Anyways, if you could do the patch generation and fowarding, that would
be great. I really can't be bothered doing it myself, to be honest, lol.
They're all mostly one-liner fixes.

Thanks,
