Please don't start (or extend) a list of downstream things to look at in the week before a release. First of all, I'm just compulsive enough to actually look, but even so, the most likely result is I'll be overwhelmed, defer everything and then forget about it.
I have on behalf of Debian a while ago reported a number of our patches to the SF.net tracker, which have not seen any response yet. It's not that we're not willing to contribute patches back, but the previous approach of reporting them to the patch tracker hasn't been fruitful. I have also sent selected patches to the development list in the past with the same result. So I guessed I'd try something different instead.
If downstream patches are of general applicability or address bugs in the upstream distribution, they should be reported in the upstream tracker (currently <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman>).
Do I understand it correctly that I should resubmit the patches to this new tracker?
We're quite willing to help you get useful patches integrated, but our time is also limited so I'm looking for the way that is most effective for both of us.
