Thanks from me as well!

I'm with Lucas here. If we file the bugs before the upload, we should be
very explicit about the fact that it does not concern unstable yet. As a
compromise, we could prepare patches, upload mpi-defaults and file the
bugs with the respective patches. (Or most of them, did not check how
complex the changes are.) This would enable to fix these in a timely
fashion. I could start doing that tomorrow night. How does that sound to
you?
As for user-tagging, we can use the old-mpi-eol usertag.
Best regards,
Manuel
