Hi all, William has joined Cyril an me in the stable maintenance team. We're now three to have direct commit access, so don't be surprized if you see new names in "git log --format=fuller" or in the gitweb interface. In order to ease tracking of who handles what patch, we'll progressively start to sign-off our patches. Till now eventhough welcome this has never been required (and as long as we can avoid bureaucratic rules we'll do) but we'll start to do it for stable backports and maybe progressively for other ones as well on a voluntary basis.
At the moment I'm writing this, it's still not possible for either Cyril nor William to release nor publish a version, it's a limitation caused by the current release process, but I've started to work on this and it should be addressed at the same time the download speed issues will be fixed. Now that we're 3, it's even more important that users who want to request a backport contact stable at haproxy.org instead of just me. Asking here on the list still remains the best option though. Please be nice, the process is still a bit error-prone and we're adjusting it so a few mistakes are expected from all of us for the short term but nothing alarming. I *hope* to be able to finalize the changes before 1.7.6 so that we can use it to validate the new process. I'll keep everyone updated once changes are completed. Willy
