I hope everyone feels welcome to make comments already.  I'm not sure
how SF works, but comments by others are helpful.  Also, it would be
great if people provided patches to existing bugs.  Unfortunately,
it's pretty obscure if the patch is added to the bug report.  However,
if a separate patch is added, it is likely to be seen/fixed sooner
rather than later.

For now, if anyone wants to make a comment on a bug proposing a patch
or solution or more info and wants to make sure it's seen, add your
comment and assign it to me (nnorwitz).

I'd love to see the bugs brought down.
