OK.

Aha, I see.  Somehow I understood that the "wider" public will see
only the two-month interval, while the developers could see immediate
patches (I'm mostly initerested in the other changes that were
suggested and applied, not in the "ennd" thingy).  Since the
developers have write access, I believe it would relieve the burden on
you if they could check-in patches, after public review and we have
procedure for that (we already have procedure for producing and
testing patches).

Thanks,
