Yeah, well, that's why there's a 2.1.18. Merging with the fixed bug.
PS. I suggest you switch to a different email provider, Yahoo is not
compatible with bug trackers or mailing lists as it sets a DMARC
reject policy for unknown senders. The BTS and mailing lists, however,
forward your message, so subscribers' mail servers will then reject them
as they did not come from Yahoo. You got lucky because the bot picked up
the submission and I saw an IRC message about it, but your emails might
get lost in a lot of cases.
