+1.  I haven't commented on any of this, but I've watched it, and
Stefan appears easy enough to work with and does very high-quality

Me neither, which is why I repeated that part ;-)  A development
branch is exactly the right thing to do at this point, and Stefan
needs commit privs to work on that.
