Fair question.  Many others regularly reply to my [STATUS] messages
and point out missing stuff.  In these late release stages this is
most helpful to me, as I usually don't have the full overview over all
the long-running multi-version patch series.  Also, I don;t always
care about each and every bug or issue, especially if it's not in an
area where I am respnsible as custodian.

Assigning it helps, but I tend to use PW only occasionally.

E-Mail reply to the STATUS messages should be sufficient.

Poking on IRC is always pretty efficient if nothing else works.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
