        e) for whatever reason, changes being checked into bpf.tcpdump.org 
haven't recently been getting pushed to/pulled by GitHub.

If that were fixed, that might help with issue a).

There's also

        f) fixes checked into GitHub (including pull requests) have to be 
manually pulled to bpf.tcpdump.org, and the people checking them in aren't 
always doing that at the time they check fixes in

and fixing that might also help with issue a).  I don't know what the issues 
are in c), so I don't know whether that'd help there.

I'll let others address b).
