Release-critical bug inventory
Greetings. The code freeze is almost upon us (34 days to go), and it's
past time to take stock of the remaining release-critical bugs.
Unfortunately there are too many of them for me to keep track of them
all in detail, so I'm collecting summarized information.
I'm interested in any comments you may have regarding these bugs, but
in particular I would like answers to the following questions:
- Are these bugs truly release-critical?
- Do you have an estimated time for fixing these bugs? Do you need help?
- Will you mind if non-maintainer uploads are done to fix these bugs?
Note that a bug is "release-critical" if we cannot reasonably release
a package with that bug still present, or if the bug interferes
with an established release goal.
