Well, if you can produce a small targeted fix, and argue that the bug is at least important priority, then you can ask for that small fix to be reviewed now or later.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have sent that e-mail, it probably comes off
a bit... bad. I'm looking at options for a targeted bugfix for
the threading issue; thanks for your time and patience in considering
this upgrade and explaining the situation!
G'luck,
Peter

So what you're saying is that stunnel4 will have a bug that leads to
random crashes all through the buster lifetime? That's...
a bit unfortunate, I guess...
G'luck,
Peter

Thanks for considering this and for the reply; I cannot say that
I didn't expect such a resolution at all.
Just for my information, is there a chance that this upgrade could be
allowed later on during the buster lifecycle as a stable update?
Thanks for everything you are doing for Debian!
G'luck,
Peter

I forgot to mention that stunnel4/3:5.54~b3-1 is in experimental as
of yesterday; it is built and installed pretty much everywhere, I am
currently investigating the hppa build failure, although I couldn't
reproduce it easily in a panama.d.o schroot.
G'luck,
Peter
