Hi pytest users and contributors,

Since 2.5.2 we've had around 40 new issues and we need help
to resolve these:

    https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pytest/issues?status=new&status=open

Please see if you can find the time to look and possibly resolve a few
through a Pull request.  Further below i'll dump the titles and issue
links for your convenience.

Furthermore we should do a new pytest bug day.  Here is a doodle:

    http://doodle.com/k26yek52yxvsmpc8#table

The one choice, the 11th April, is during Pycon in Canada but i assume i'll
still have a lot of Jet Lag and also can make time during Canadian
day time.

best,
holger
