Right.  I've already pushed a few things along on Monday.  Keen contributors
are certainly welcome to mail me directly as well!

Gordon, yours are <https://code.launchpad.net/~doxxx/bzr/456036/+merge/14757>
and <https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~doxxx/bzr/271790/+merge/14812>?  I'll look
at those shortly.

While wearing my pilot's hat this week I'll be mostly ignoring patches in the

The fact we have a patch pilot doesn't excuse everyone else from reviewing
patches (from anyone), though!
