I apologize for missing the memo, but judging from the logs in the
emacs-24 and trunk branches, I'm guessing that the current policy is
that emacs-24 is used for 24.4 fixes, which are later merged to trunk by
Glenn, and that trunk is open for business.
Am I warm?
Also, we have a couple of MH-E bugs on SourceForge related to
compatibility with new nmh releases (1.5 and more recently 1.6). Would
these qualify for checking in on the emacs-24 branch?
Are we still targeting a winter release?

Not up to me, but showing the diff (it is not huge) would help to answer that.
Technically speaking, no; ref:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-05/msg00309.html
but if the changes are simple, probably yes. (But again, not up to me.)
> Are we still targeting a winter release?
Ha. There is no "target" AFAIK.
(Some people expressed a desire for more frequent releases, and I think
the phrase "every 6 months" was mentioned. The 24.4 feature freeze began
7 months ago...
There's no visible progress with any of the outstanding important bugs,
and no-one doing any serious documentation improvements.
Bug reports show that many people are using trunk rather than emacs-24.
So in summary I don't know when the release will be.
I hope it is a bit sooner than winter.)

Thanks, Glenn!
In that case, perhaps checking changes into trunk, submitting the patch
for review, and merging it into emacs-24 if accepted (so you don't need
to get involved :-) might be a good policy in the short term. Would you
agree?

I appreciate the sentiment, but that's not a good way to do it.
It is better to make the changes in emacs-24 in the first place,
if that is where they are to go.
Just send the patch here and wait for Stefan (who currently has limited
email access) to ok/not ok it.

Yeah, I got *that* memo that Stefan is on walkabout. Will do, thanks!

Damn, and here I was, counting on you!

So do I.
