This is amazing, Bastien; we could really use some good "bug shepherds". The most often cited reason for disappointment with Emacs development I hear is that bugs and patches "die on the vine", for want of time on the maintainer's part to attend to them all. So what I'd love to see happen first is to go through the bug tracker and find every issue with a waiting patch. Confirm with the submitter that they believe their patch is in final ready status, and that it works with current Git HEAD. Then let's start moving these patches in and closing their associated bugs. Let's harvest our low-hanging fruit! John
