This sounds like something I can do:

- track changes (in branch)
- co-ordinate blocking issues (in bug system)
- co-ordinate with people doing the actual work :-P
- send (periodic) weekly emails
- encourage shipping by minimising scope creep ;-)


Sounds like there's already agreement to revert the 'pkgconf' change and push a new branch without them which becomes 'core-updates'. Josselin on IRC I had the impression you were working on that?

Thanks,
