I'll be in the country for the second week, but again mostly incommunicado. This definitely isn't a problem, as a: how patches get into blead *isn't* my direct concern b: stable stuff isn't done as a last minute rush job [You may read this as if not being able to get patches into maint at the last minute worries you, then those patches will by definition worry me] Clearly if anyone wants to fix bugs in pseudohashes or 5005 threads, then those patches have to go direct to maint. But I believe that little else does. The only other exception would be changes to re-entrant functions through reentr.pl, where the generated code is quite different than that in bleadperl.

Yes, IMO this one should go in maint.

I decided that it was better to get it out than try to keep going through the backlog I had already. I will go through the backlog, and it's actually easer to do so, because I don't have a direct record of where 5.8.7's release came - the change messages all sit in a mailbox and get deleted once I've concluded whether they are to be integrated or aren't suitable. Yes, IMO this one should go in maint. Yes, it looks like it should. (But there's looking quickly, and thinking slowly and committing. And I don't think that 11pm is a good time to start the latter) Nicholas Clark

I don't find this worrying, as it's not time for a new maintenance release yet) What if I'm interested in taking partial responsibility for this? Whoever does maintenance tends to be drawn from someone who has already been committing to the development branch. I think that this would be more help would be useful. Actually merging across patches is relatively simple, once the decision is taken about what to merge. I also think that there is considerable potential for confusion with more than one person doing it. Nicholas Clark

I think that this would be *where* more help would be useful (ie the general development track stuff. Particularly actually figuring out the causes of bugs and attempting fixes) simple, once the decision is taken about what to merge. and I notice that about 1 month is actually 2. So it seems that I can't count either. Oops again. Nicholas Clark
