Oh, good on you Tim. I meant to say something a few days ago
when you started to review the Issues situation. That is what
it takes to start things moving.

I am away for the weekend so will comment later.

One thing that i wanted to remind all developers, not just
committers, is to please review the list of all issues too
to look for other potential blockers. Since the last release
we have not really kept up with categorising the issues.

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR
and skim through the "0.9-dev" and "unscheduled" list.

Of course if other issues take your fancy then just attend to them,
but the purpose of this is to find unclassified blockers.
