Well, I think that the move to 4.0.9 is among ourpriorities, yes.

However, for this to happen, we have to complete the 0xx patch
sorting, because we must know for each of these whether we apply them
to 4.0.9 (new features/corrections also relevant for 4.0.9) or drop
them (things already applied to 4.0.9).

So, my current proposal is to fix a release schedule with a 4.0.3-36
release as target for the end of this month:

-more bug fixes=20
-more bug triage (I very slowly go down the wishlist list)
-more 0xx bugs sorted to either 4xx or 3xx

I'm not sure we will be ready for 4.0.9 at this time, so I prefer
fixing yet another 4.0.3 release as next goal.

About tasks for the team members:

-Nicolas=A0  : continue the great work on 0xx series triage
-Christian=A0: continue bug triage and prepare the next release
-Martin   =A0: clean out debian/rules? apply patches for bugs which have
             them?
-Alex     =A0: pick up what you want..:-)
-Tomasz   =A0: listen to us and answer to Nicolas when he will
             propose patches from the 0xx series
