Sorry, but why do we have to wait to check in features? More than 3 months have passed and I don't know if someone else remembers that this issue was still not resolved. This scenario doesn't happen for instance in Bazaar's development, where a tool tracks the patches from the mailing list that are waiting to be merged. See: http://bundlebuggy.aaronbentley.com/ I look forward to the day when Emacs development focuses on an easy repository and bug tracker so that we can better control issues and patches... Daniel
