That's what I did for pilot-manager since I had a patch.
For slrn, I just have the changes.txt file that says:
[snip]
Changes since 0.9.5.3
[snip]
1. Tweak to generation of NEWGROUPS server command to make it y2k
compliant. (In my opinion, the protocol is weak in this area)
[snip]
So finding where is the exact fix is not trivial either since the upstream
(ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slrn/) FTP site doesn't have the diff for
0.9.5.3 -> 0.9.5.4.
