A simpler proceedure would be to periodically (weekly?) just clip the
information at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=8713&max_rows=100&style=threaded&viewmonth=200605
into the wiki. Then you get the commit comments, which in my case are
always important and sometimes extensive.

So Egon, when I do an upload, does this page automatically catch it?
(That would certainly be nice....)
Yes, it would, but it doesn't.
The idea is that developers (you, Miguel, Paul, ...) suggest a patch to be
included in the stable branch. The suggestion is made by putting the revision
number for that patch in the 'Developers reports'.
What is the procedure for moving something from "needs testing" to
"unapproved"
That's up to the developer. If you think a patch should go into stable, but
just needs a bit more testing, then 'needs testing'. If you feel it is ready
to move to the stable branch, the developer would put it in 'unapproved'.
It's up the the release manager of stable to move things from the 'Developers
reports' to 'Stable release maintainer decisions'.
By the way, "unapproved" can mean something other than what you mean
here. It generally has the meaning "not authorized" or even "considered,
but in the end not approved". Could we change that to "tested, pending"
Yes, that's fine with me. BTW, the "considered, but in the end not approved"
is the 'Rejected' section.
I guess I'm not sure what "not tested" means exactly. I certainly test
everything I do.
Where did you see 'not tested'?
It seems to me once approved, they should IMMEDIATELY be patched in. Why
wait after that?
Patch might have conflicts with the code in the stable branch. I guess in
practice most patches will skip the 'Approved' section, and directly go
into 'Applied'.
ah, there's another word play. Funny! I read that, and I was thinking
of credit cards --- FIRST applied, THEN approved. Here we mean first
approved, then applied! :) Sorry, takes me a while sometimes....
