Excellent!

Finally someone who cares to checkin patches. I've been disappointed
to see that the June 30 intent-date was announced, but people keep
chewing-gumming about SourceForge caveats while the patches backlog
grows and the number of closed patches stays invariably to 3, of which
one is a test!

You can count me as one of the significatn bottlenecks here. Tim and Guido
have accepted some of my patches, I just have to check them in. Real Soon Now

Absolutely on-target, Vladimir! The current state of our world is
embarrassing. Someday when the bosses aren't listening, I'll explain to you
how it got this way <0.9 wink>.

Trent, you are *not* a bottleneck! You've cooperated with the process (or
lack thereof) every step of the way, and it hasn't even been 12 hours since
I accepted some of your patches. And the bulk of them are still on my plate
to review.

I don't think we have an actual bottleneck now, but we do have a large
backlog to work off, and people with too many things that need to be done.
