I think that we're not in danger at this point, at least I cannot see
anything in the tracker.

If the situation becomes more urgent/critical (e.g. due to being
closer to the freeze) and I am not available to respond at that time
in a reasonable time (2 days to a week, whatever you judge
appropriate), please go ahead and fix it, unless co-maintainers (which
are main maintainers really) object to it in the meantime.


Thanks!
