Can't see anything new in the git repos so far, am I missing something
with the recent changes to the server ?

I have a couple more patches in the pipeline, which I still need to test
and clean up a bit more before submitting, which I plan to do after the
next release/upload. You offered to give me write access to the
repository a couple of months ago, if it's still valid, that would be
very nice. I would still submit the more intrusive patches, but it would
probably make things easier to apply more trivial patches.
