Backporting would be work for people, but might be the most stable way
to go about it if you think the trunk contains a lot of destabilizing
changes. Does it?

This sounds like you should be doing a release more often so that so
many changes don't get a chance to accumulate. :)

I'm not involved with launchpad at all in any official capacity, I'm
just a user. I use it in a couple of projects. I don't recall setting
up launchpad project accounts myself but I think it's just a matter of
getting a sign-in and requesting a new project, unless there's data to
port.

I'm not 100% happy about the launchpad user interface; I always keep
having to hunt up how to use the issue tracker each time I use it.
Roundup was simpler. Kit even released a note for Infrae customers:

Launchpad does add a lot of planning features and so on but I suspect
these need a project of significant size to be very useful.

So, if you need an issue tracker and more, Launchpad might be useful.
What I'm mostly hoping for myself is that you guys develop a procedure
to do some form of regular releases to the cheeseshop so I can get to
bugfixes without having to wait an unknown period. :)

Regards,

Martijn
