| Subversion not being in sarge, I won't have access to the repository
| before setting up a sid in VMware this weekend, since subversion-tools
| are not installable on my only machine running sid (an Indy R5000).
| I'll be busy @work recompiling custom kernels in the meantime :-(

| Fine, which bugs do you address? I'll look at the remaining RC and
| important bugs first, then chronologically oldest first.

The RC bugs are already being handled by the security team.  Looking
at the rest sounds like an excellent idea; also the docs need a bit of
updating, particularly the README.Debian.

We should also decide whether we want mailman to just drop into exim4
and apache, which we can, but that could potentially break some
people's setups.

| Btw, there seems to be a consensus on d-devel, that tracebacks
| must not be presented to the user.  I tend to agree but expect
| upstream to think differently.

I think upstream is wrong, and when I see backtraces, I tend to fix
them.
