I wouldn't know what to report. Why is it important for you to be informed on the progress of the pretest? > For my part, I don't really want to use Emacs 30 before it is properly released, but also I needed a decent amount of time to play around with it before the EmacsConf video upload deadline (Nov 8th). I suppose other uploaders are thinking the same thing, except for those who use bleeding edge Emacs. Hence the inquiry into this. I am not trying to rush you or anything. We never really know in advance when the release is imminent, except when we produce a release candidate. So just watching out for RC1 should be a good idea.
